The Comelec said that the isolation polling places (IPPs) being prepared are only for voters who exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 upon their arrival in the polling centers and not for those who are already confirmed positive for the said illness.
The Commission on Elections said on Friday, Sept. 17, that the isolation polling places being prepared are only for voters who exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 upon their arrival in the polling centers and not for those who are already confirmed positive for the said illness.
“Instead, they will be directed to IPPs where they can vote away from the general public, with all the necessary precautions appropriate to their health condition,” he added.“The IPPs are not intended to be polling places for persons who are confirmed to be COVID positive and are, on Election Day, supposed to be in quarantine,” he added.
