Police to focus on COVID19 containment in virus-hit Cebu City - Eleazar
CEBU CITY - Containment of the COVID-19 outbreak in severely hit Cebu City will be top priority for police, Joint Task Force COVID Shield commander Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said on a visit here Saturday.
More than 100 Special Action Force commandos arrived in Cebu on Friday to augment local forces in implementing ECQ protocols. They visit small sitios to make sure everyone stays at home.“The city looks like a ghost town,” he said, citing the heightened police presence. Doctors from Western Visayas will arrive on June 30 to help private hospitals as utilization of critical care capacity in the city continues to increase.
