Supreme Court Operations Suspended from March 11-14
SUPREME COURT – The SC is suspending work for three (3) days, from March 11-14, for the disinfection amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.
The COVID-19 pandemic is undeniably the biggest challenge that the Philippines is currently facing. If the authorities and the people would be complacent, a surge may take place again putting a lot of lives at risk.
This coronavirus disease was reported to have been first recorded in China last December 2019. On the first month of 2020, several other countries started logging cases of the disease.
The COVID-19 spread rapidly and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it as a pandemic. WHO said that it might be a long-term case and countries must not be complacent to prevent a second wave of the disease.
In the Philippines, the COVID-19 pandemic has a lot of impact – many businesses were forced to close. They incurred only expenses with no income for months.

Schools have also not started the school year in June. Instead, it was moved to October 2020 amid the threat of the coronavirus disease. Furthermore, instead of face-to-face class instructions, blended learning was adapted. Students learn through modules and online classes.
Public and private companies that operate also see to it to give way for disinfection and the cleaning of the buildings. In fact, the Supreme Court is currently suspending work until March 14, 2021 for disinfection amid the COVID-19 pandemic in PH.
Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta penned a memorandum about the work suspension in the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, committee meetings that have already been set may continue.
The security, the medical and dental staff, and the administrative services employees are required to be present for work during the disinfection period.
Furthermore, on March 15-19, all offices are required to be under a skeleton force or only 50% of the manpower will be reporting to work. It is to make sure that physical distancing is practiced in every office.
