Lockdown in Davao Region Police Office Extended Until June 8 Due to Surging COVID-19 Cases
The Davao Region Police office has decided to extend the lockdown due to the surging cases of coronavirus disease.
The Police Regional Office XI (Davao Region) extended the lockdown on their camp in Catitipan, Davao City until June 8, 2021. The active cases of COVID-19 within the organization has already climbed to 74.
The camp’s lockdown has started last May 26 and supposed to end on June 2 (Wednesday). According to PRO-XI, the clients and civilians could still enter the camp for transaction but they are required to present a negative antigen or RT-PCR test.
Meanwhile, the recruitment of police officers is currently suspended and the Camp Crame has been advised to process the applications. The announcement has been made after Davao City has issued the Executive Order No. 31, which is linked to the regulation of barangay, local, and national office events.
“Ang ating mga personnel ay pinagbabawalan na mag-uwian. As much as possible, stay-in lang sila muna habang may mga nagpa-positive,” PRO-XI spokesperson Police Maj. Eudisan Gultiano said.
