Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) President Benedicto Yujuico on Tuesday said that small businesses will not be able to afford the cost of testing their employees for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

"Actually, in so far as our large corporations are concerned, they have the money to actually underwrite costs of tests for their employees. Big companies are underwriting this because they can afford it," said Yujuico in a business forum organized by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (FOCAP).
