More than 500 Army troopers are now part of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) in the Caraga Region working round the clock in quarantine checkpoints to prevent the entry and contain the spread of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in the area.
“Our Army troopers are now securing the more than 50 control points and quarantine checkpoints in our areas of responsibility joining the other front-liners in the fight against Covid-19,” said Brig. Gen. Maurito L. Licudine, commander of the Army's 402nd Brigade (402Bde), in a statement on Thursday.
The brigade covers the areas of Surigao del Norte, Province of Dinagat Islands, Agusan del Norte, the first district of Surigao del Sur, the town of Sibagat in Agusan del Sur, and the town of Magsaysay and the eastern portion of Gingoog City in Misamis Oriental.
Licudine said the Army is providing support roles and security to the personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Department of Health (DOH), the local government units (LGUs) and other agencies in manning the established quarantine points.
“Other troops are on standby and ready for deployment in case of any eventualities that may arise in line with the implementation of guidelines and protocols to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the Caraga Region,” Licudine said.
In the same statement, Major Francisco Garello, Jr., 402Bde civil-military operation officer, said Licudine is regularly conducting inspection of troops in different quarantine checkpoints in Caraga Region, beginning on March 30.
Garello said the visit and inspection aims to ensure the proper and strict implementation of the protocols and guidelines in quarantine checkpoints.
“He also distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face shields, face masks, and surgical gloves to the AFP and PNP personnel to guarantee their protection as front-liners,” he said.
