MANILA \u2014 President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines has said that local officials should detain people who refuse Covid-19 vaccinations inside their homes, a move that legal experts said would be unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

In a late-night public address on Wednesday, Mr. Duterte argued that the coronavirus emergency trumped laws guaranteeing freedom of movement, calling his order \u201cthe law of necessity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they don\u2019t want to be vaccinated, they should not be allowed to go out of their homes,\u201d Mr. Duterte said. \u201cThey may say there is no law, but should I wait for a law knowing that many will die?\u201d<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear how Mr. Duterte, who is known for bombastic statements and endorsing hard-knuckled police tactics, planned to enforce such a plan or when it would go into effect. Last month, he threatened to jail people who refused shots.<\/p>\n

In his address on Wednesday, Mr. Duterte said that village chiefs \u2014 elected officials who serve at the lowest level of local government in urban and rural areas \u2014 should force people who won\u2019t be vaccinated to stay home and that, if questioned, they could respond that they were acting on \u201corders of the mayor,\u201d a reference to the strongman approach he used when serving as the longtime mayor of the southern city of Davao.<\/p>\n

Edre Olalia, secretary general of the National Union of Peoples\u2019 Lawyers in the Philippines, said that the president\u2019s order was unconstitutional and dangerous, and \u201creflects his militaristic mind-set.\u201d Although there is some vaccine hesitancy in the Philippines, especially after a dengue immunization campaign in 2017 led to dozens of deaths, Mr. Olalia said that demand for vaccines outstripped a supply that is dogged by distribution bottlenecks and erratic delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are actually many wanting to be vaccinated but are just waiting to be called by the government,\u201d Mr. Olalia said. \u201cThe point is, is the vaccine rollout sufficient? Anecdotally, no. There have been long queues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Less than 6 percent of the population of 108 million in the Philippines has been fully vaccinated, according to a New York Times tracker. The country has recorded the second-highest total coronavirus caseload in Southeast Asia, after Indonesia, and has reported dozens of instances of the Delta variant since May, when the country\u2019s first Delta cases were found in two workers returning from overseas.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the authorities in Manila imposed tighter restrictions including closures of gyms, reduced capacity at restaurants and other businesses, and a nighttime curfew. Children ages 5 to 17 are not allowed to leave their homes.<\/p>\n
