BCPO Intensifies Campaign Against Health Protocol Violators

For the past eight days, from January 19-26, 2021, most of the violators of the health protocols in Baguio City were given warnings and lectures. This is based on the result of the Baguio City Police Office’s (BCPO) operations on health protocol observance. And, Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong has “ordered the police to intensify the operations until such time that substantial compliance is achieved.”

The operation to intensify the campaign against health protocol violators in the city is pushed as the UK variant was detected in Bontoc, Mt. Province and contact tracing has revealed that some cases in Baguio showed the potential links to UK variant cases recorded in Bontoc and La Trinidad, Benguet.
