NAKATAKDANG sampahan ng kaso ng Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) si Gwyneth Ann Chua, kanyang mga magulang at anim na iba bunsod ng umano’y paglabag niya sa quarantine protocols nang dumating mula sa US.
“The CIDG Regional Field Unit NCR, the unit handling the case, was already able to establish the facts relative to the case of the Returning Overseas Filipino (ROF), Gwyneth Anne Chua,” ayon sa CIDG.
Napag-alaman ng CIDG na nag-check in si Chua sa Berjaya Hotel Makati alas-11:23 ng gabi noong Disyembre 22 pero sinundo ito ng ama makaraan ang ilang minuto.
Nakumpirma rin ng mga imbestigador na nagpunta si Chua sa isang restaurant sa Makati City noong gabi ng Disyembre 22.
“On December 25, 2021 at 9:00 PM, Ms. Chua returned to the hotel assisted by her mother,” dagdag ng CIDG.
Ayon sa pulisya, lumabag si Chua sa Rule XI Section 1 (g) (iii), (iv) ng IRR ng Republic Act No. 11332 o ang Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act.
“CIDG’s investigators concluded that Ms. Chua, being a Returning Filipino Overseas (RFO) is obliged to follow the health protocol being imposed by IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases) & DOH (Department of Health) and her action of leaving the quarantine facility and disregarding the quarantine procedure violated Rule XI Section 1 (g) (iii), (iv) of the IRR of R.A. 11332 (Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act),” dagdag ng CIDG.
Maliban kay Chua, inihahanda na rin ang kaso laban sa kanyang mga magulang at ilang tauhan ng hotel.
“CIDG will be filing cases against nine persons, including Ms. Chua, her father and mother, and several personnel of the hotel (quarantine facility). As for the individuals who were in the company of Gwyneth Anne Chua on the night of December 23, 2021 and were allegedly infected by the virus, CIDG did not find sufficient evidence to charge them with any offense in relation to the violations committed by Ms. Chua,” ayon sa ahensya.
“However, CIDG recommends and encourages the said individuals to file a complaint before CIDG for further referral to the prosecutors office,” dagdag nito.
