Remulla noted that an expert earlier predicted that the number of infected individuals in the province will increase two weeks after the implementation of general community quarantine in Metro Manila, which has been under GCQ since June 1.

Meanwhile, 13 police officers tested positive for COVID-19, according to Remulla, who urged his constituents to follow quarantine protocols, citing the sacrifices of police officers and health workers manning the frontlines against COVID-19.
