J&T Express remains operational to help mobilize goods around Metro Manila, Philippines. This is despite the Philippine government’s recent announcement of community quarantine of Luzon.
Recently, the government put Metro Manila under community quarantine to contain the spreading of the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from March 15, 2020 to April 14, 2020. During the month-long quarantine, traffic restrictions will be implemented for all domestic land, air and water travel entering and exiting the metro.
According to J&T Express Philippines chief executive officer Dean Ding, the e-commerce delivery company sees the need to continue its operations. He said the company is ready to help any individual or organization in transporting goods and other products as part of its commitment to help the public amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As a delivery company, we want to help ensure that all-important goods and products, from food to disinfectants, are delivered on time, especially in difficult situations, such as this pandemic,” Ding said. “We are also ready to help any organization should they need our assistance.”
Filipinos are encouraged by J&T Express to heed to the government’s call to practice proper hygiene and safety precautions to beat the virus such as wearing facemasks, washing hands with water and soap, carrying hand sanitizers or alcohol and practice social distancing by avoiding crowded places. Ding noted that all its staff, riders and deliverymen are well-equipped with the knowledge on health and safety procedures set by the authorities to ensure safety.
“Everyone’s health and safety are our top priority,” Ding said. “Our staff, including our riders and truck drivers, are equipped with facemasks, hand sanitizers/alcohols and package disinfectants as part of our precautionary measures.”
For those who are experiencing symptoms of the virus, it is also advised to be self-quarantined at home or call the Department of Health hotline (02)8651-7800 for inquiries on what to do.
