MANILA - Fontana Leisure Park in Pampanga was closed and placed on lockdown after authorities found an alleged makeshift health facility there for Chinese patients, the Clark Development Corporation
and police said Wednesday.
The apprehended Chinese nationals included a 45-year-old man who allegedly owns the facility, and a 38-year-old woman who is an alleged pharmacist, the CDC said. "This illegal activity not only violates the law, but also poses danger to individuals who potentially need medical treatment for the deadly disease. CDC does not and will never tolerate this inside the Clark Freeport," the CDC said.
COVID-19 testing czar Secretary Vince Dizon said those in the area will undergo tests for the novel coronavirus. Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the Immigration bureau has been instructed to coordinate with the Philippine National Police and the local government to trace all those who sought treatment in the unauthorized medical facility.
