As the Modified ECQ protocol remains in place in the so-called National Capital Region Plus (NCR Plus) bubble until April 30, Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – Central Office (PFDA-CO) conducted its regular disinfection activities on April 19 and 24 to fight against the spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

PFDA General Services Division - Administrative Services Department led the thorough disinfection activities in the PFDA Central Office.

PFDA-CO continues to implement a reduced on-site capacity and work-from-home arrangements for its staff and personnel to ensure their safety while providing unhampered service to all stakeholders and the public. 

Meanwhile, PFDA – Navotas Fish Port Complex (PFDA-NFPC) held its monthly general cleaning on April 28 to maintain the safety and security of port employees, vendors, consumers, and everyone who enters the facility against the contagious virus. 

Aside from the port’s management, volunteers from various market traders, associations, and groups also participated in the monthly activity.    

During the disinfection activity, PFDA-NFPC ensured that all port activities, especially market operations, remained open to continuously accommodate regular fish trading activities in the port and avoid possible price hike due to interruptions.

All fish traders and port clients transacting at the PFDA-NFPC may follow their official Facebook account to get the latest schedules and disinfection activities.

Subsequently, all other PFDA Regional Fish Ports (RFP) are continuously following and implementing health and safety protocols to counter the spread of the virus. 

PFDA continues to strongly advise everyone to follow minimum public health standards against COVID-19, including proper use of face mask and shield, physical distancing, and frequent hand washing.
