A group of business leaders submitted on Thursday a list of recommendations to the government’s Interagency Task Force to help Luzon ease into the “new normal” with the scheduled end of the enhanced community quarantine by mid-April.

Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion said he and 60 other businessmen, along with Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles and Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, discussed the recommendations last weekend. “We feel that it will allow the streets to be open, there will be no need for checkpoint, the flow of goods will be faster,” Concepcion told CNN Philippines’ News Night.“I think a more focused approach on the barangay will help us identify the level of virus spread,” added Concepcion.

With this, workers in construction, particularly of government projects, non-food manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and government be allowed to physically report to work.
