“Agencies of the government involved in the delivery of basic and health services, disaster preparedness, and other vital services shall continue with their operations,” said the office of Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea.
“We leave the suspension of work for private companies and offices to the sound discretion of their companies or employers.”
Meanwhile, Acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio ordered half-day work – only until noon – for all courts in Metro Manila on Monday. The Supreme Court (SC) said executive judges overseeing courts in other areas are given discretion to decide if they must suspend work as well. – Rappler.com
