Sinas tests positive for COVID-19, skips health screening
PNP Chief Debold Sinas tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.
Senator Panfilo Lacson called for an investigation into Sinas for allegedly skipping health protocols during a visit to Oriental Mindoro last week, citing it as his second infraction after a birthday celebration controversy in May 2020.
Sinas reportedly skipped health screening in Oriental Mindoro to 'optimize' time with Mimaropa cops, according to PNP spokesperson Brigadier General Ildebrandi Usana.
The PNP is now tracing close contacts of Sinas from March 9-11 and has recorded another fatality among its personnel, bringing the total number of deaths due to COVID-19 to 33.
