MANILA - Government urged businesses to create multiple and staggered work shifts in a bid to reopen the economy safely as curfew hours eased in Metro Manila.

The Departments of Trade and Industry , Labor and Employment , and Interior and Local Government issued the pronouncement in a joint advisory dated Oct. 22, which also encouraged alternative work arrangements and work-from-home set-ups.

"This move will bring back more jobs in a safe manner, and the easing of curfews will generate additional economic activities in the evening that will improve the income of workers," said Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello. The public is urged to strictly follow minimum health standards such as the proper wearing of face masks and face shields, no talking and eating in public transportation and crowded areas, and observing physical distancing.
