PNP looks for more quarantine facilities as more personnel test positive for coronavirus
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is identifying more quarantine and isolation facilities within Camp Crame to accommodate a surge in COVID-19 cases among its personnel.
PNP officer-in-charge, Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, stated that the PNP is experiencing an increase in cases, with over 100 new cases per day since Monday, March 15.
The highest number of new cases was recorded on March 16 with 167, followed by 121 on March 17.
The Kiangan Building, which houses the Provident Funds and the Public Safety Savings and Loan Association, Inc., has been designated as one of the new quarantine facilities.
Eleazar confirmed that there will be no full lockdown of Camp Crame, but visitor access will be restricted, and offices will closely monitor their personnel for adherence to health protocols.
Non-uniformed personnel are largely working from home, and the Administrative Support for COVID-19 Task Force will convene to reassess the situation.
