MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Migrant Workers said it is ready to assist overseas Filipino workers in Macau, especially those who have either tested positive for COVID-19 or are affected by the pandemic-related work suspension there.

“All hands are on deck to bring as many COVID-care packages and food packs to OFWs who may have neither the means nor the mobility to buy food and medicines,” Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople said in a statement on Tuesday. 

The Philippine Consulate in Macau already provided food packs to 100 OFWs and is also giving out food, medicines, and vitamins.
