The Land Transportation Office on Tuesday said several branches will be closed for disinfection until Friday following to a rise in COVID-19 cases among its staff.
"Ito ay upang makasailalim sa wastong quarantine protocols ang mga nagpositibong LTO Frontliners at kanilang mga naging close-contact," the LTO said in an advisory.
