Inilinaw ni Mayor Isko, kahit nasa MECQ dapat siguruhin ng lokal na pamahalaan na magpatuloy ang operasyon at pagkakaloob nila ng mga pangunahing serbisyo at pangangailangan ng Manileño.
Panawagan ng alkalde sa city government offices, dapat tiyakin ang proactive measures upang maprotektahan ang kalusugan at kapakanan ng city officials at mga empleyado ngayong panahon ng krisis.
Sa inilabas na Executive Order No. 34, binuo ng alkalde ang skeletal workforce alternative work arrangement sa ilalim bf MECQ, sa mga tanggapan ng Office of the Mayor, Office of the Secretary to the Mayor, Manila Public Information Office, at Office of the City Administrator.
