MANILA, Philippines — Courts in areas under COVID-19 Alert Levels 1 and 2 will remain physically open, with 50 to 70 percent of their workforce reporting for duty. This is the rule set by the Supreme Court under a circular issued Monday which aims to guide courts in the event that such pandemic alerts are raised by the national government while ensuring operational continuity. The circular was signed by Court Administrator Raul Villanueva. According to the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA), the circular also provided that judges without court space but already have their own personnel will maintain a skeleton workforce of at least 30 percent.
