MANILA: Philippine police said on Wednesday (Apr 7) they are investigating the death of a COVID-19 lockdown violator who was forced to do a hundred squat-like exercises as a penalty for breaking curfew.
Police have punished more than 10,000 people for breaching a 6pm to 5am curfew imposed on Metro Manila and four provinces bordering the national capital region last week to curb soaring infections.
