THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE (PNP) will assist the Department of Health (DOH) in monitoring the dreaded Novel Corona Virus (nCoV).
In a statement, PNP chief Police General Archie Francisco Gamboa said that it will assist the DOH in the monitoring of major entry points in the country.
According to the PNP, its Health Service has established a direct line of communication with the DOH for lateral implementation of public health measures.
“We have the PNP Maritime Group and the PNP Aviation Security Group now on standby that can be mobilized upon receipt of advisory or guidance from the DOH if police assistance is required.”
Likewise, local police units are on high readiness mode, awaiting notice if needed by DOH to track down persons that may have avoided quarantine protocol imposed by health authorities.
Meanwhile, General Gamboa urged the public to remain calm, composed and informed as he assured the public that the PNP remains alert and vigilant to ensure public order and safety, as well as prevent criminal elements from taking advantage of the situation. (By Jimmyley E. Guzman)
