Police use social media to monitor quarantine violations
Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, commander of the JTF COVID Shield, said large gatherings do not only violate the protocols but are also dangerous amid the continuous threat of the coronavirus.
Eleazar said that prior to the Cebu City lockdown, there was a drinking session in one of the barangays. One of the participants turned out to be positive for coronavirus and a number of people in the barangay got infected as a result. The third case, according to Eleazar, happened in Navotas City wherein a family held a party for friends and neighbors—one of them turned out to be a virus carrier. As a result, 10 of those who attended got infected, and one patient died.
“As what the experts have been saying, part of the safety measures is to treat people as potential virus carriers. In this case, we are monitoring quarantine violations of these kind because they are really dangerous,” said Eleazar.
