Infrastructure projects under the government’s Build, Build, Build program can now resume in areas under the general community quarantine, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways.
“On areas under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), construction workers accredited by the DPWH will be allowed to work on quarantine and isolation facilities, health facilities, emergency and maintenance works, flood control, and other disaster risk reduction and rehabilitation works,” Public Works Secretary Mark Villar said.
“On areas under the General Community Quarantine, private and public construction projects will be allowed to resume following compliance to the construction safety guidelines prescribed for the implementation of infrastructure projects during the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis,” he added.
