The Philippines is one of the countries that are battling the COVID-19 pandemic now. According to the Department of Health (DOH), 76,444 cases of the disease were recorded with 1,879 deaths and 24,502 recoveries.
Several government agencies have suspended work after their employees contracted COVID-19. Currently, the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) has also suspended physical work after some PCOO employees tested positive for COVID-19.
