Malacañang Park, Manila — Upon confirmation with PSG Task Force COVID19, PSG Group Commander COL JESUS P DURANTE III PA confirms that there are eight PSG personnel who tested positive for COVID-19 who are assigned at the Office of Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea. The Executive Secretary initially tested negative.
The said personnel to include two officers and six enlisted personnel, are on outside duty and did not have any close contact with the President.
PSG also assures the public of the President’s safety despite this unfortunate situation as we continually implement the strict health protocols to our personnel and their dependents to guarantee that the President is safe and healthy.
PSG personnel have their respective VIPs. Those who were assigned to the President are consistently being tested for COVID-19. The President’s close-in security personnel further endure being at a separated billeting area to limit their contact even from their comrades and loved ones just to lessen exposure and to ultimately ensure that they do not become the threats, themselves.
PSG remains steadfast in being a 360-degree shield for the President and the seat of central power in the country.
