MANILA – The Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene or Quiapo Church will be on lockdown until next week after a priest tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Parish priest Fr. Douglas Badong confirmed that Quaipo Church has been on a lockdown since June 19 after a priest who stayed in the church during the imposed community quarantine tested positive for the coronavirus.

The priest left the church and returned to Mindanao in mid June however, the Covid-19 positive priest had a stopover in Cagayan De Oro before testing positive in his home province.
