“Ang sabi po ng task force (Inter-Agency Task Force), sa major thoroughfares lang po puwede and road repair and construction kasi ito rin po iyong may impact sa delivery ng essential services,”
He added that workers in the said areas will still observe ECQ protocols, adding that the number of workers allowed to work are limited.
“…they will wear Personal Protective Equipment, observe social distancing, and they will be staying in a facility designated for them. Hindi muna sila uuwi,”
