Garganera also said they are planning to implement stricter rules if it meant ensuring close contacts of previously COVID-19 patients will be immediately identified and detected for possible infection.Urgency is very vital in this pandemic. We will not be hesitant to order the immediate arrest of the said individuals. I already coordinated fully to the PNP and barangay authorities,” he said.
