(Eagle News) — Sixty-six more police personnel have tested positive for COVID-19.
The Philippine National Police said the additional cases pushed the PNP COVID-19 total to 11896.
Of these, 671 were active.
Twenty-eight additional recoveries pushed the PNP COVID-19 recovery total to 11193.
No additional deaths were reported, which means the PNP COVID-19 death toll remains at 32.
Uniformed personnel, including the police, are among the priorities in a COVID-19 national vaccination drive that kicked off a few weeks ago.
The kickoff came as the OCTA research group observed a surge in COVID-19 cases, prompting some local government units such as Manila and Quezon City to impose localized lockdowns.
Paranaque, for its part, extended its curfew hours after three South African COVID-19 cases were monitored there.
