Plastic-wrapped seats, plastic barrier in buses to greet returning OFWs from Wuhan

Health and foreign affairs officials, as well as soldiers, are conducting simulation exercises at the Clark International Airport in Pampanga on Saturday in preparation for the arrival of the repatriated overseas Filipino workers from Wuhan, China amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.

A report by Chino Gaston on Balitanghali Weekend on Saturday said the simulation is being conducted at the Philippine Air Force's facility at the Clark airport.

The exercise focuses on how to safely transfer the at least 50 OFWs from the tarmac to the buses which will bring the repatriated Filipinos to the Athletes' Village at New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac for a 14-day quarantine.
