MANILA: More than 15,000 newly hired domestic helpers and another 10,000 vacationing overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are stranded in the Philippines after the government imposed a ban on travel to and from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macau to prevent the entry and spread of the novel coronavirus.
According to the Society of Hong Kong Accredited Recruiters of the Philippines (Sharp), these newly hired domestics and vacationing OFWs are expected to fly to Hong Kong in two to three weeks’ time.
