Businesses urged to comply with Project Balik Buhay guidelines

As companies are continuing to assess the operating status of their businesses as the COVID-19 crisis evolves and changes on a daily basis, the Project Balik Buhay (PBB) strongly pushes for strategic testing of employees and the compliance to the new health protocols before resumption of business operations within the tri-cities (Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu).

Recently, Mayor Labella issued EO 075 institutionalizing PBB and orders for a strategic community testing in order to come up with a calibrated, specific, evidence-based, and data driven policies to combat the spread of COVID-19. However, long term success cannot be taken for granted. All sections of the society, including businesses and employers, must also play a role if Cebu were to stop the spread of the virus.

Companies that wishes to continue their businesses during the COVID-19 crisis must be able to take appropriate precautions to protect the health and safety of their workers that requires diligence in adhering to all relevant health and safety policies and procedures underlined in the project, as well as protocols issued by government agencies, in protecting individuals from the COVID-19 virus.
