CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The Central Luzon police on Wednesday made rounds in different public markets in the region to inspect their compliance to the enhanced community quarantine rules.
Police Regional Office 3 director Brig. Gen. Rhodel Sermonia said the conduct of inspection is in line with the directives of President Duterte and Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año.
“We were tasked by the President and the Secretary to strictly implement ECQ particularly social distancing, wearing of face masks and monitoring of prices of essential commodities,” he said.
“We are tripling our efforts to guarantee that no single guideline in the ECQ is missed and we are appealing again to the public to help us by refraining from going out of their houses to prevent the continuous spread of coronavirus disease,” Sermonia added.
ECQ, meant to curb the rising number of cases of Covid-19, is implemented in the entire Luzon island from March 17 to April 30.
