The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically shaped how we live our lives. How we do our work is not an exception. Heeding the call of the times, the Provincial Accountant’s Office implemented changes to ensure that the delivery of basic and essential services to our clients will not be hampered. At the same time, such changes ensured that the health of our personnel and that of our clients are considered.
PACCO installed a queuing system and stationed a D-I-Y UV disinfection box outside of the office. Clients will have to get a priority number and are instructed to wait outside to avoid crowding inside the office and maintaining social distancing. Four windows were designated and services transacted at each window are also identified to facilitate order.
On the other hand, the PACCO provides DIY UV disinfection box. Clients then will have to disinfect first the documents that will be received by the office. These advancements implemented in the office are just two of the few steps the office has to take in going “business as usual” during these trying times. As we go forward and navigate ourselves in the “new normal”, PACCO will always find new and creative ways to ensure that clients are served, transactions are completed, and the health of the deliverers and recipients of services is not compromised.
