Both administrative offices will undergo thorough disinfection and cleansing.
“We hope to break the transmission during those days, to arrest the spread of COVID-19 among our employees,” said chief of staff Marc Velasco, who stressed that heads of offices have already been instructed on the work-from-home set-up and expectations.
“We are still waiting for some test results and we are hoping that we do not add any more positives.”
