The Philippines, and the world, has been heavily hit by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic.
At time of original publication of this article, there has been 450,000 cases reported and countless jobs have been lost.
The Philippines has created the “COVID-19 Inter-agency Task Force for the management of emerging infectious diseases”, also known as the IATF, in order to manage and recommend policies to mitigate and combat COVID-19.
Likewise, various government agencies have issued their own guidelines in order to adjust policies to lessen the impact of COVID-19 to business in the Philippines.
The pandemic has even moved governments agencies to adopt processing of documents online.
Business have also adapted to the pandemic to move their workforce from an office set-up to a work-from-home (WFH) set-up.
