Eleazar orders cops to ensure no kids are outdoors

QUEZON CITY -- Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief, Police General Guillermo Lorenzo T. Eleazar tasked local police offices to make sure children are not out on the streets or in public areas after the national government prohibited kids from going outdoors anew.

Children, five years old and above, were again prohibited from going out after the Department of Health confirmed local transmission of the COVID-19 Delta variant in the country.

“On behalf of the men and women of the Philippine National Police, ako ay humihingi ng pang-unawa sa ating mga kababayan sa pagbawi ng alituntunin tungkol sa paglabas ng mga bata edad lima pataas bilang parte ng layunin ng pamhalaan na pigilan ang pagkalat ng mas nakakahawang Delta variant ng COVID-19,” said PGen Eleazar.

“Bilang mga magulang, alam ko na batid ninyo ang kasabihang mas gugustuhin pa natin na tayo ang magkasakit kesa sa ating mga anak. Pero sa panig ng inyong PNP, ginagawa naming ang lahat upang tayong lahat ay maging ligtas sa mas mapanganib na variant na ito,” he added.

PGen Eleazar said he expects all chiefs of police to initiate measures to ensure that the implementation of the safety measures to protect civilians in their respective Areas of Responsibilities are protected.

PGen Eleazar also appealed to the parents to watch their children and to not let them go outdoors.

He asked for their cooperation so that COVID-19 Delta variant transmission and infection would be prevented.

“Nakikiusap tayo sa mga magulang na bantayan ang kanilang mga anak at huwag hayaang lumabas ng bahay dahil mas delikado ang COVID-19 Delta variant na ating binabantayan sa ngayon. Mas delikado ito dahil mas mabilis itong makahawa at ang mga bata ay maaaring magsilbing super spreaders kapag sila ay na-expose sa coronavirus,” PGen Eleazar said.

“Tayong mga magulang ang may responsibilidad para sa kaligtasan ng ating mga anak kaya’t sana’y sundin natin ang mga panuntunan na nagbabawal sa kanilang lumabas ng bahay,” he added. (PNP-PIO)
