DND building placed on lockdown
The main building and premises of the Department of National Defense (DND) in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City were placed on a three-day lockdown starting Wednesday, July 15, 2020, for disinfection.
Normal office operations are expected to resume on Friday, July 17.
The lockdown was implemented following biosecurity protocols to prevent a possible COVID-19 outbreak.
This decision was prompted after Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana announced that one of his staff tested positive for COVID-19.
The infected staff attended at least two official functions with Lorenzana since last week, including the commissioning of the Philippine Navy's BRP Jose Rizal (FF-150) and a meeting with President Duterte in Jolo, Sulu.
Concerns were raised over possible health protocol breaches as the staff attended functions while awaiting his test results, which he received on Monday after arriving in Jolo.
