“Miscommunication and misinformation should both be out of the question. Kaya magkakaroon ang Kagawaran ng mga OFW Desk sa Regional Offices pati ang pagtatalaga ng desk officer sa bawat rehiyon, lalawigan, at lungsod. Tutulungan natin silang makauwi sa kanilang mga kaanak pagkatapos ng required quarantine period,” Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said in a statement.
Año said the OFW help desk was put up after receiving reports that some Filipino migrant workers were barred from entering their communities or prevented from going to health facilities to undertake mandatory 14-day quarantine. Año said the OFW Desk Officer will monitor the health status of Filipino repatriates through coordination with city or municipal health workers, barangay health workers or members of the Barangay Health Emergency Response Teams .
The OFW Desk Officer should closely work with the local chief executive to provide relevant information about the returning OFWs.The comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
