HOTELS which serve as quarantine facilities for inbound passengers will now be subjected to random checks from authorities, according to the Department of the Interior and Local Government .
“Secretary Año wants the police to make the visit to make sure those who are listed to be under quarantine will not be able to leave [the hotel] until their RT-PCR [Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction] result comes out to stop the absentee quarantine modus,” Malaya said. Government officials earlier said the concerned Filipina and those who allowed her to skip quarantine can face imprisonment for violating quarantine protocols.
