Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Wednesday he was ordering policemen to arrest people who are not properly wearing their face masks, one month after the government ended its controversial mass arrests of quarantine violators.
Duterte gave his directive in a characteristically meandering speech during which he apologized for his decision to receive the Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccine, which has not yet been approved by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration.
