SINIMULAN na ng Quezon City government ang pagkakabit ng mga closed circuit television (CCTV) sa mga palengke upang matiyak na nasusunod ang social distancing sa mga ito.
Ayon kay Mayor Joy Belmonte maglalagay ng CCTVs sa Commonwealth Market, Datu Tahil Market, Gatmaitan Market, at Litex Market.
Sa Novaliches ay Susano Market, Nova Plaza Market, Novaliches Market, Susano Arcade, Francisco Talipapa, at Bagbag Market.
Sa Balintawak area ay Cloverleaf Market, Riverview 1, Riverview 2, Pilson, MC Market, at North Diversion Market.
Sa Cubao area ay Q-Mart market. At sa Tandang Sora area ay Tandang Sora Bayan Palengke, Visayas Market, at Tandang Sora Livelihood Coop.
“The CCTV cameras would serve as extra set of eyes for our authorities on the ground as they strictly implement social distancing to stop the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),” ani Belmonte. “It is important that we ensure that social distancing is properly implemented as we enter the crucial part of the enhanced community quarantine.”
Ayon kay Assistant City Administrator for Operations Alberto Kimpo ang mga high precision CCTV cameras ay iugnay sa QC Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) command center.
Ang mga wireless CCTV cameras ay may 360-degree view, zoom-in and out at maaaring maaring buksan ng otorisadong tauhan sa pamamagitan ng mobile phones.
“These cameras will provide real-time situation in our public markets. Our monitoring center will alert authorities on the ground if social distancing is not strictly followed,” ani Kimpo.
