“That came out when we ordered a conference. That is why they did not attend the conference because they are positive, ”Sinas said at a press conference.
(We found out during the command conference. They were unable to attend the conference because they tested positive for COVID-19.)
Sinas said the PNP will also implement a “targeted group swab” test for its staff at Camp Crame for early detection of COVID-19 at the main police camp.
