Police chief warns food delivery riders to observe health protocols
NATIONAL POLICE chief Guillermo T. Eleazar has reminded food delivery riders to strictly follow minimum health safety standards and quarantine protocols following multiple reports of violations.
“In recent days, the PNP (Philippine National Police) has received several complaints and allegations about violations by delivery riders of the minimum public health safety protocols in their waiting areas in various areas in Metro Manila,” Mr. Eleazar said in Filipino in a news release on Thursday.
He said his office received reports that some riders were not properly wearing their face masks and some were smoking in designated waiting areas in between deliveries.
Mr. Eleazar said police heads have been ordered to coordinate with local government units and business establishments to ensure the implementation of health standards.
Complaints of such violations may be submitted to the police’s online portal. — Bianca Angelica D. Añago
