ITINALAGA ni Philippine National Police Chief General Dionardo Carlos si Lt. General Rhodel Sermonia bilang bagong pinuno ng Joint Task Force COVID Shield.
Ayon kay Carlos mula ng manungkulan si Sermonia bilang Deputy Chief for Operations ay pamumunuan na rin nito ang enforcement arm ng national government sa pagpapatupad ng quarantine rules and health protocols bilang concurrent commander.
Pinalitan ni Sermonia si Lt. General Israel Ephraim Dickson na itinaas ng puwesto bilang PNP Deputy Chief for Administration, ang 2nd in command ng PNP.
“As the new commander of this Task Force, I expect PLTGEN Sermonia will continue the plans and programs of the previous commander and enforce minimum health protocols for us to fully mitigate the deadly virus”, ani Carlos .
Ang JTF Covid-19 Shield ay binubuo ng PNP, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine Coast Guard, at Bureau of Fire Protection. VERLIN RUIZ
