CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu business sector is willing to police themselves in order to help reduce the Coronavirus Disease 2019 cases in the city.
“The business establishment having a higher transmission is the BPO. What the EOC does is find out why there were breaches in the establishment and making them aware how to live with COVID. We keep on emphasizing, the only way that COVID transmits is when you start to remove your mask,” said Feliciano.
“What we may know, the business sector itself is policing its own ranks. Many establishments, when they find a positive case within their ranks, they voluntarily close a branch, office, or factory, to conduct disinfection,” said Taguiam. The local government units may impose harsher penalties to establishments such as suspending their permits or downright revoking them.
Eating together of workers must be refrained especially in banks and BPOs. In carenderias, the management must ensure that the social distancing has been followed to avoid transmission.
