The Dhaka Times Desk Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the arrest of people who have not been vaccinated. He gave this order amid increasing infections in the country due to the omicron variant of the corona virus.
According to a news of Al Jazeera, 21 thousand 819 new corona virus was detected in the Philippines in 24 hours on Friday. This is the highest rate of infection in the country since last October. 70 thousand 49 people have been tested for corona in the country on Friday. In the country, the infection rate of corona test is 40 percent.
President Duterte has lashed out at people who have not been vaccinated because of the sudden increase in the number of corona infections. He ordered the arrest of people who are roaming outside without taking the vaccine. Although many have questioned the validity of such instructions.
In a pre-recorded speech on Saturday, President Duterte said it was a national emergency. My position is that we can stop those who have not yet received the covid vaccine.
Instructing village chiefs to find those who have not been vaccinated, Duterte added, "If you want to stay in office; Instruct them to stay at home. If they ignore the request and go out of the house and socialize with people, then they must be stopped. If they don't agree to this too, then arrest them.
In the Philippines, a country of 110 million people, less than half of the people have been vaccinated against the corona virus. President Duterte said he was alarmed by the large number of people still unvaccinated. The president of the Philippines said that those who are not vaccinated are putting everyone at risk.
It should be noted that last year, Duterte also warned that those who violate the lockdown will be jailed. The lockdown was eased in the Philippines last October.
