The headquarters of the Eastern Police District has been placed on a three-day lockdown after 24 of its police officers tested positive for the COVID-19. | MatthewINQ
The lockdown, which was confirmed to the Inquirer by the EPD director, Police Brig. Gen. Johnson Almazan, started on Wednesday, and made the police camp the second in Metro Manila to be shuttered in the last five days after some personnel were confirmed as COVID-19 carriers.
It was unclear at press time whether the 24 officers from the EPD had been manning quarantine checkpoints—similar to the positive QCPD patients—or were based inside the headquarters on Caruncho Avenue in Barangay San Nicolas, Pasig City. But unlike Camp Karingal which is confined to a compound, the EPD headquarters is located right behind the Pasig City Hall, where scores of government workers have continued to report since the start of the enhanced community quarantine.
