SEN. Richard Gordon yesterday said that the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has started testing overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who just arrived in the country for coronavirus disease (Covid-19) at its newly-inaugurated molecular laboratory inside PRC’s Logistics Center in Mandaluyong City.

“Our aim is to really get our people tested so that we can immediately isolate those who are affected and prevent the non-carriers from acquiring the virus. We want to make sure that our OFWs are safe before they go home to their families,” said Gordon, who acts as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PRC.
