Wearing of face shields remains a must when riding a public conveyance and entering establishments with a large number of people in Davao City.
Police Colonel Kirby John Kraft, director of the Davao City Police Office bared that the police do not have a written policy lifting the use of face shields.
He said proper wearing of face shields is still a must in public conveyances and in establishments that have many people.
Kraft said with the increase of COVID-19 cases, the MECQ in the city has been extended from June 20 to June 30.
“It still needs discipline and understanding from the people,” he said.
A total of 17 members of the Davao City Police Office have been afflicted with COVID-19 virus.
Kraft said the 17 members come from various units of the DCPO.
“No specific office has the contamination.
“They got the virus from their housemates, landlord and while working,” he said.
Kraft said Davao City shares with Regions X and XII as far as border is concerned in the Davao-Bukidnon Highway.
He said the police, Army and the City Health Office are guarding this border, requiring 72-hour RT-PCR results from those coming in to Davao City.
Kraft said from 1,441 individuals, 40 motorcycles and 333 vehicles were denied entry from May 14 to June 17 at the Lomondao checkpoint in Marilog District. (PIA XI-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
