While testing all employees for COVID-19 before returning to work is not mandatory, the Parañaque government is requiring employers to test their workers as several businesses reopened on May 16

In an executive order issued by Mayor Edwin Olivarez, employers should have their employees tested to ensure that only Covid-free people are working.

“The mere fact that they are operating in the city, then we demand that they must have the testing. But that is not, again, a prerequisite. They can resume now, but during their work, continuing their work, in a period of seven days they must have a testing for employees,” Soriano said. “We believe this is in harmony with the national guidelines issued by the national government. Because the whole purpose of this one, with respect on the policy on Covid, is to fight against it,” he added.However, employers must find a government accredited testing facility on their own. They will also shoulder the cost of each test., but we are not endorsing. It’s up to them. After all, we have a public hospital in the city, Ospital ng Parañaque 1, Ospital ng Parañaque 2.
