Government considers relaxation of restrictions as the number of infected cases stabilises.
MEASURES
- With the stabilisation of the number of cases, some provincial governments are thinking about opening more sectors to operate. However, the central government advised to continue to monitor the situation and put on hold the decision to relax existing
restrictions. - To ease the process of getting the documentations to allow movement of goods and workers who are involved in the exempted sectors, the documents can be issued by manufacturers and there is no need to obtain the documents from the government agencies.
IMPACT ON FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN
- The industry has not faced major challenges in getting products registered as the process can be completed online.
- Government agencies are opened during this period and businesses can still visit government offices to process documents that require physical submission.
