The Quezon City government said on Saturday (May 9) that it will propose a shift to a transition period of general community quarantine (GCQ) after the lapse of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) on May 15.
Mayor Joy Belmonte said she will submit her proposal at the meeting of the Metro Manila mayors on Saturday afternoon.
She explained that the localized guidelines intend to jumpstart the revival of the local economy while ensuring the safety of the city’s residents through the implementation of strict health protocols in business establishments to prevent the further spread of the disease. In the same report, there were also 337 recoveries and 134 deaths in a population of approximately four million that includes transients and those stranded as a result of the ECQ.
She added that these firms should check the health conditions of their workers prior to their return to work, facilitate the testing of workers, quarantine workers as needed, implement thermal scanning and social distancing in the workplace, and institute disinfection schedules. “Businesses must also implement mandatory temperature check at all entry points while dividers must be installed between work stations to prevent physical contact,” he added.
