Solon urges public disclosure of COVID-19 patients' identities
On Wednesday, Davao del Norte Rep. Alan Dujali urged public disclosure of the identities of patients with coronavirus disease (Covid-19) to strengthen the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.
Dujali recommended this measure in a letter to the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases, suggesting it would create an effective deterrent for those violating quarantine measures and hospital protocols.
The lawmaker also cited Republic Act 11332, which mandates reporting of infectious diseases.
Senator Panfilo Lacson previously called for similar public disclosure amid challenges posed by stringent laws protecting patient medical records.
