MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court has set up an emergency care unit (ECU) in its compound on Padre Faura Street in Manila for court employees who might contract COVID-19.

Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo has approved the use of the SC Gymnasium to serve as an isolation and quarantine facility for Supreme Court employees and those from third level courts like the Court of Appeals, the Sandiganbayan, and the Court of Tax Appeals, according to a statement issued on Monday.

The initiative, which was done with the help of the Philippine Red Cross and the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, is expected to somewhat ease the high occupation rate at other public isolation areas.
