Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The President of The Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has ordered the arrest of unvaccinated people who will violate stay-at-home orders aimed at curbing rising coronavirus cases in the Asian country driven by the Omicron variant.<\/p>\n

On Friday, The Philippines reported at least 21 819 new COVID-19 infections, raising the country\u2019s positivity rate to a new record of 40 per cent out of 70 049 tests conducted.<\/p>\n

On 1 January 2022, there were just 3 617 new cases reported, and the cumulative cases since the pandemic approach three million.<\/p>\n

There are now 77 369 active cases officially recorded in The Philippines, the highest since 17 October 2021.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the country reported 129 new deaths, bringing the official death toll to 51 871, although the actual number of deaths could be higher.<\/p>\n

In a pre-recorded message, Duterte on Thursday ordered the arrest of unvaccinated people who break stay-at-home orders. Said Duterte:<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s a national emergency, it is my position that we can restrain.<\/p>\n

I am now giving orders to the [village chiefs] to look for those persons who are not vaccinated and just request them or order them, if you may, to stay put.<\/p>\n

And if he refuses and goes out of the house and goes around in the community or maybe everywhere, he can be restrained.<\/p>\n

If he refuses then the [official] is empowered to arrest the recalcitrant persons.<\/p>\n

Vaccination against COVID-19 is voluntary in the nation of 110 million people, and less than half the population have so far been fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Duterte said he was \u201cappalled\u201d at the large numbers of Filipinos yet to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n

The Government loosened lockdowns in October last year in order to revive the struggling economy.<\/p>\n

However, stricter measures were reimposed following the emergence of the highly transmissible Omicron variant.<\/p>\n

Under the new tighter restrictions, in place until mid-January, unvaccinated residents have to stay at home unless buying essentials or exercising.<\/p>\n

The Government has also ordered restaurants, parks, churches and beauty salons to operate at lower capacity, while in-person classes and contact sports are suspended.<\/p>\n
