“We have to prepare for the new normal.”

This is the challenge posed by DILG XII Regional Director Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO III as another advisory on COVID-19 infection prevention measures was released recently.

The advisory, according to Dir. Leysa, simply urges everyone to adjust and adapt to the post-quarantine way-of-life which will be characterized by the mandatory wearing of face masks while in public, maintaining social distancing at all times and other infection prevention measures like the handwashing and frequent disinfection in designated places, both in government or private establishments.
