ILOILO City – Should someone or groups of persons knock on your door then tell you they are from the local government unit tasked to disinfect your house as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), shoo them away, according to the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6).
These people are more likely opportunistic burglars trying to take advance of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Police Lieutenant Colonel Joem Malong, PRO-6 spokesperson.
They could be robbers out to loot your house, she added.
The PRO-6 issued this warning in anticipation of such a possibility.
“Bisan wala pa sang na-record diri sa aton sang amo sina nga incident, naga-warn na kita nga daan. Local governments are not deploying teams or persons for house-to-house disenfection,” stressed Malong.
Police Brigadier General Rene Pamuspusan, regional police director, ordered all police units to step up operations against robbers./PN
