Sy-Coson appealed to the government to allow all industries, including the transport sector, to resume 50 percent of their operating capacity. | Philbizwatcher
In a proposal addressed to the Department of Labor and Employment, Sy-Coson said: “If all the industries can start operating [at a capacity of] 50 percent, including the transport [sector], with all the medical precaution like making test kits more available and disinfecting measures and sanitation safeguards, then we can gradually increase the employment, including [jobs for] the returning OFWs who are adding to our number of unemployment.
Earlier, a group of prominent economists proposed a shift to “calibrated easing” of the Luzon lockdown, citing the need to prevent further economic damage while still waging a war against COVID-19. “The calibrated easing of restrictions can be accompanied by specific safeguards and hygienic measures to reduce the risk of spreading the disease while allowing a limited resumption of economic activity,” FEF said.ADVERTISEMENT• Allow public transport, but with disinfection measures before and after every trip. Remove checkpoints between local government and allow free movement of all goods with disinfection measures before and after every trip.
