Pilar, Bataan—The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Bataan employed a week-long work-from-home scheme to give way to the disinfection of their office here following the exposure of two employees to a suspected COVID-19 positive individual.
PENRO Raul Mamac underscored there was need for an immediate disinfection and sanitation of their offices to ensure safety of both the transacting public and their personnel.
Mamac said there was continuity of their operation by putting in place a system that saw their personnel providing services to the public while working from their homes.
Environment personnel transacted via email, Facebook, Messenger account, and telephones, Mamac said.
DENR Bataan has been strict with health protocols in its office building here to prevent the spread of the dreaded coronavirus.
“Clients and employees who will enter our office have to undergo the required protocols to prevent spread of the virus,” Mamac earlier said.
“We established a handwashing station in front of our office. They will be given tissue to dry their hands,” he said.
“Our personnel will put alcohol to their hands to sanitize them. A thermometer gun is used to check body temperature of an entering client or employee,” Mamac added.
“In case of high body temperature, we have a holding area where the individual could take a rest. Then the person’s body temperature will be taken again for validation”, he explained.
