The Department of Health (DOH) has issued guidelines for employees who will be returning to work on Monday (May 18) as the government eased quarantine restrictions in some areas of the country.
Health Undersecretary Dr. Maria Rosario Vergeire said that testing for coronavirus disease is not mandatory for those who will return to work.
For employers who are still opting to test asymptomatic workers, they may do a “representative sample” testing. “If initially tested negative but developed symptoms, the employee must be tested accordingly,” it read further.
