Presidential guards on self-quarantine from March 28 to April 10
All Presidential Security Group (PSG) personnel stationed at Malacañang are mandated to undergo self-quarantine from March 28 to April 10.
This directive follows an incident where a lawmaker who tested positive for COVID-19 was able to enter the Palace for a meeting last weekend.
PSG commander Colonel Jesus Durante III stated that both PSG personnel and their dependents must remain in their quarters during this period.
The Malacañang Complex itself will not go on lockdown, and essential civilian employees shall still be allowed to enter the Palace area subject to regular screening procedures.
Regular close-in security details will still be provided to the President, and all of them have tested negative for COVID-19.
