Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar cautioned all the police offices and units about individuals who might take advantage of the eased travel restrictions for fully-vaccinated persons.
In a PNP news release, Eleazar on Monday said that the PNP will coordinate with the local government units (LGUs) in enforcing the latest guidelines released by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), where individuals who wish to embark on interzonal travel could present their vaccination cards in lieu of COVID-19 test results.
“I am directing all police offices and units to be vigilant against those travelers who might use fake documents to prove that they are fully-vaccinated,” Eleazar said.
“Kung ang resulta ng RT-PCR test ay pinepeke, hindi malayong may masasamang loob na gumamit din ng pekeng vaccination documents. Hindi natin ito dapat hayaang mangyari,” he added.
The PNP chief also reminded travelers to not be complacent and continue observing health and safety protocols.
The latest IATF resolution states that a person is considered fully-vaccinated only if it has already been two weeks or more since he or she received the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, or two weeks since receiving a single shot of the vaccine, PNP said. – rir
