Francisco Fernandez died after falling off a motorbike.The 45-year-old was a beloved community figure.But with a public-facing job and a spot on his lung，he was considered a possible COVID-19 carrier.A doctor ordered his family to bury him quickly，against Philippine tradition，and all eight people who lived with him were put under a 14-day quarantine（隔離） in their crowded home.
   Yet when Anthony Cortez，the doctor who had ordered the rushed burial and quarantine，arrived to check on the Fernandez family，none of them expressed anger.Instead，faces lit up and the kids waved eagerly.
   Cortez，the only community doctor in Bambang，has overseen their medical care for years.They trust him，and he makes them laugh.The family gathered outside to have their temperatures taken by the doctor.When the kids tried to give Cortez high fives for not having a fever，the 56-year-old，in a surgical mask，face shield，and rubber gloves，showed "air fives" instead.For the 56 000 people living in Bambang，Cortez is their primary caregiver and the first responder.
   When the first coronavirus（冠狀病毒） case in the Philippines was confirmed on January 30，the town's response fell to Cortez.He and Mayor Pepito Balgos decided to take action based on science that，if necessary，would go beyond national restrictions.Cortez and Balgos are sharply aware of the threat the virus poses to Bambang，which sits in a valley surrounded by mountains.Anyone going south to Manila or north toward the rest of the country ends up passing through Bambang.
   Cortez quickly set up a system of contact tracing.Using information from the town's 25 villages，he made a list of all the people who had traveled to other countries，and placed them under strict home quarantine.Anyone with symptoms would be moved to a center set up in the mountains.So far that center has remained empty.
   "It is safer to assume that everybody is positive，" he explained.
