In the face of Omicron, PNP advocates for stronger adherence to health protocols.
After the government reported two cases of the Omicron form of the coronavirus illness 2019 on Thursday, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos encouraged the public to maintain minimal public health standards (Covid-19).
Carlos emphasized the importance of wearing protective equipment such as face masks and face shields at all times, especially in public areas, as well as maintaining strict physical distance and personal hygiene.

Vicente Danao Jr. told reporters, “This is to ensure that churchgoers are appropriately safeguarded against any criminal element who would take advantage.”
According to the NCRPO’s surveillance, about 61,000 worshippers attended Masses in 313 places of worship, while 3,000 cops and 11,000 force multipliers were deployed to preserve order and security, as well as ensure compliance with minimal health regulations.
“In accordance with our Ligtas Kapaskuhan kung makikita ninyo, we’ve been implementing yung ating health protocols since day one, and hindi po magsasagawa yung ating kapulisan na mag implement at mag-remind sa ating mga kababayan na yung very basic wearing of face mask should always be there, and yung (Our
Criminal elements involved in common crimes such as mugging, swindling, gang fights, robbery and theft, and burglary of unattended dwellings would also be on the watch, he added.
