Sorsogon Governor Chiz Escudero has allowed the partial operation of hardware stores and pet stores in the province of Sorsogon.
In his Executive Order No. 23-2020, Escudero said the permission being granted was based on Memorandum No. 20-16 of the Department of Trade and Industry issued last April 13.
“The operation shall be limited only to facilitating pick-up and deliveries.”
The governor’s order states that the operation shall be limited only to facilitating pick-up and deliveries but no over-the-counter transactions, walk-in or retail sales.
“Business owners (have) to observe contact-less operation and other quarantine rules and regulations,” he said.
Sorsogon province is strictly implementing the enhanced community quarantine with hopes that it remains free of the coronavirus disease 2019.
