Aside from breaking the curfew, there were citizens caught drinking in public places while others were not wearing face masks. Others were outside their homes.
The violators were taken to village covered courts near the Police Substation, where they were issued violation tickets.
Face masks were given to those who were caught not wearing them.
Before being sent home they were also reminded and encouraged to follow the ordinances as part of the ongoing fight against the pandemic.

“We continue to tell the people of Caloocan that we will be strict in our implementation. If you don’t go to work, please stay in your homesduring curfew hours,” Mina said.
