MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police on Thursday said it has deployed more cops in Metro Manila, and seven other areas in the country to make sure that minimum public health standards are not disregarded even under more lenient protocols.

Metro Manila and other areas are now implementing the Alert Level 2 protocol until mid-February. All ages are allowed outdoors under the relaxed status, while most local governments have also lifted mobility restrictions on the unvaccinated.

In a statement, Police Gen. Dionardo Carlos, PNP chief, said that the national police expects more people to be outdoors without any policy limiting any age group from doing so.
