LABOR Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma expressed support to the continued adoption of work-from-home arrangement by business establishments and companies amid the continuing threat of coronavirus disease .

"One case of Covid-19 infection, the workplace will automatically be locked down. We cannot overemphasize that it is better to be safe than sorry," said Laguesma.He said what is important is for such a work arrangement to be clearly defined and have adequate guidelines put in place. The labor chief, however, admitted that unlike before, when there were stricter community restrictions, there are sectors that will need to have employees reporting to the workplace.

And if reporting in the workplace is inevitable, he said employers must make sure that they are adherent to the health and safety protocols.
