BACOLOD City – At least six people from Cebu were intercepted in two separate occasions in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.
Authorities have requested not to identify them.
San Carlos City police chief, Police Major Mark Angelo Junco, said the first interception was made against a woman, who crossed from Cebu and landed in the area of Sitio Troso in San Carlos City’s Barangay Buluangan.
Junco said the woman then proceeded to a salon to have her hair rebonded.
Cops soon arrived and took the woman into custody, along with the male hairstylist involved in the hair rebond.
The two were sent to the city’s quarantine facility and are scheduled to undergo RT-PCR testing.
Meanwhile, Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Negros Occidental chief, Lieutenant Commander Jansen Benjamin said they intercepted a small boat with five people aboard which included two minors.

PCG personnel, meanwhile, impounded the boat used by the five./PN
