DILG-NAPOLCOM Center locked down after exec tests positive for COVID-19

The Department of the Interior and Local Government-National Police Commission (DILG-NAPOLCOM) Center in Quezon City will be locked down for a week starting on Monday, July 6, after an Interior Undersecretary tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The week-long lockdown will give way to disinfection and contact tracing, NAPOLCOM said in an advisory on Sunday.

“In line with this, all NAPOLCOM personnel will be on Work from Home status during the one-week lockdown,” Vice Chairman Rogelio Casurao said.

“In order to serve the public and clients whose transaction is to file documents, a receiving personnel from the NAPOLCOM Records Section will be stationed at the ground floor lobby to receive your documents. No other transactions will be entertained,” he added.

Work at the DILG-NAPOLCOM Center will resume on July 13.

Interior Undersecretary Epimaco Densing earlier announced that he tested positive for COVID-19. 

Densing said he was “responding positively” to treatment. — Julia Mari Ornedo/BM, GMA News
