President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday ordered the deployment of policemen to quarantine hotels after at least 2 travelers from abroad cut short their required isolation.
Duterte's acting spokesman Karlo Nograles said under the Notifiable Diseases Act, hotel personnel are "duty-bound to at the very least report" quarantine violators. "It does not remove or absolve them of their negligence – the omissions of their act, the non-reporting... Cases will be filed, the cases will be prosecuted and then it will be up to the judge to decide," he said in a press briefing.
