HRep premises to undergo disinfection vs. Covid-19
The House of Representatives complex in Quezon City will be cleaned and disinfected from March 13 to 15 as a precautionary measure against COVID-19.
House Secretary General Jose Luis Montales assured that the complex is currently free from COVID-19 cases, with no persons under investigation or monitoring.
He emphasized that the health and safety of everyone in the House are a top priority, leading to these disinfection measures.
This decision follows a call from Bayan Muna party-list Representative Carlos Zarate for sanitation procedures in the public space.
Meanwhile, the Senate building in Pasay City will be on lockdown starting Thursday after a resource person who attended a recent hearing tested positive for COVID-19.
The head office of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) in Pasay City was also closed on Thursday due to the confirmed case at the Senate.
