Social distancing or avoiding close physical contact with other individuals is one of the measures suggested by health experts as a way to stop transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19.
“We have directive to enforce social distancing. The military is easier to control because they are used to following orders,” Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana told INQUIRER.net. “”Kung hindi naman sila makakasalamuha ng taga-labas at sila-sila lang ang nasa training area, ‘di kailangang mag social distance ,” he said.“Trips outside camp are prohibited. Yung mga trip nila outside camp ang ipinagbabawal. Hindi rin sila makakauwi during this period of emergency. ,” he added.The military’s newly added responsibility is to support the Philippine National Police in enforcing community quarantine in areas around the borders of Metro Manila.
The military is set to host major events that would include the presence of foreign troops in the coming months— the joint Balikatan exercises and the International Fleet Review, both scheduled in May or more than a month from now. So far, there are no announcements if there would be changes.The virus has now infected 140 persons and killed 12 others in the Philippines as of Sunday , months after the disease first emerged in China in late 2019.
