MANILA, Philippines — The chief of the Philippine National Police reminded police units in Metro Manila and in surrounding provinces to deploy more cops  in public places with health authorities classifying the COVID-19 situation in the Philippines as ‘high-risk’.

 

"DOH is sending a red flag to law enforcers to recalibrate their strategy. It is laid upon us to manage the movement of people, grounded on the national IATF direction and local Executive Orders," Police Gen. Dionardo Carlos, who has himself tested positive for COVID, said.

 

This comes after Malacañang announced the addition of Bulacan, Cavite, and Rizal to areas under Alert Level 3 starting January 5. “The same template with that of Metro Manila will be implemented in those three areas,” Carlos added.
