Interior Undersecretary Martin Diño suggested starting a “shame campaign” against those who would not take COVID-19 seriously. | CMarquezINQ
He said he was disappointed at some infected people who would ignore the COVID-19 crisis.
“We can no longer just take baby steps in this problem. This will reach everyone’s doorstep if we neglect it. We who take precautions at home are sacrificing, but others can’t refrain from going out of their homes. They pay no attention to COVID. They are the ones spreading it,” he added. Diño also dismissed the claim of some critics that Oplan Kalinga was like Oplan Tokhang, the Duterte administration’s anti-drug campaign, which is led by the Philippine National Police.
Under Oplan Kalinga, local government officials and city health officials would lead the transfer of COVID-19 patients from homes to quarantine centers, he said.
