In the name of the country, the President of the Philippines said that the medical officers are working hard day and night. He is working day and night to reduce the transition of the country to Corona, so those who do not listen to the government and try to break the lockdown will be considered a serious crime. I have ordered the police and army to shoot such people if they do not listen.

According to the information, so far 96 people have died due to corona in the Philippines. Apart from this, the number of infected people there has been more than 2300. The government is trying its best to deal with Corona. The result of these efforts is that in the last 3 weeks there have been only 3 cases of corona which confirm that the Philippines is winning the battle with corona.

However, after this announcement by the President, some activists are criticizing him. They are calling their statement violent and saying that they are doing the same thing again during the war against drugs. At that time, thousands of people were killed by the policemen and still giving the same orders. While all the actions taken by the police under the anti-drug campaign were legal and this time also after the President’s statement came, the National Police Chief said on Thursday that the police understood that Duttart demonstrated his seriousness about public order did. However, he assured that no one would be shot.

Indeed, this is not the first time Rodrigo Dutart has ordered the countrymen to be shot. In 2016-17, the President ordered drug dealers to be killed without any legal action.

Please tell that more than 2311 people are currently infected with Corona in the Philippines. At the same time, 96 people have died. Around March 12, President Rodrigo Duterte also conducted an investigation of Covid-19. He was negative. However, he himself went into self-isolation as a precaution. In addition, the Parliament and the Central Bank of the Philippines were also quarantined. President’s spokesman, Salvador Panello, said that on the advice of our health officials, we have taken all steps to protect.
