Hands off: 'No touch' virus policy for Philippines presidentWell-wishers will not be allowed to touch Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte under new measures announced Monday by his security detail, as the deadly coronavirus spreads in the country. At 74, Duterte is in a vulnerable age group for the virus, which has proven particularly harmful in older people with pre-existing conditions. “The PSG (Presidential Security Group) will implement a no-touch policy between the president and the public,” group commander Jesus Durante said in a statement.
