Meantime, the policewoman who gave birth while undergoing quarantine at the Kiangan Emergency Treatment Facility in Camp Crame has been released and given a clean bill of health.

PNP deputy chief for administration Lt. Gen. Joselito Vera Cruz said in a message to reporters Monday the lady cop and her baby, who were both earlier found to be asymptomatic, were released on the 10th day of their quarantine on September 20.

On September 16, the baby’s mother, a patrolwoman assigned at the Manila Police District Station 9, went into labor and could no longer be transferred to a hospital because of the imminent childbirth.

Two other Covid-infected patients admitted at the facility, a physician and non-uniformed personnel, helped her give birth to a son. (PNA)
