Hard to believe, but we are in the last quarter of the year. The past months have been incredibly challenging, and it doesn’t look like the dreadful COVID-19 is going away anytime soon. As our country begins to slowly re-open businesses and establishments, BLOQ Residences is putting in place measures to keep everyone as safe as possible.

If you are looking to buy a condo in Cebu, you can be certain that, with us, you are in good hands despite the pandemic. For the safety of our employees, clients, and tenants, we have trained our staff and have equipped all our buildings in accordance to the guidelines set to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Building Guidelines

Strict Walk-In Policy

Across all our locations, we have imposed a strict guest-visit policy. All visitors or non-tenants are required to present their medical clearance and travel pass before entering Bloq premises. This is to help ensure that every person who comes in the building is fit and healthy, free of COVID-19 symptoms, and likewise have the necessary permit to be outside of their homes. 

Compulsory Health Checklist

In line with our visitor guidelines, we are also implementing strict regulations for our tenants. All tenants must comply with the requirement to fill out a dated COVID-19 health checklist as mandated by the Department of Health. The form helps management identify any symptoms that may need quick attention. The date also helps in contact tracing when needed. 

Mandatory Face Mask

As in all public settings, BLOQ Residences is urging all its staff, tenants, and visitors to wear a mask at all items in the lobby, hallways, parking space, and all shared spaces. There is currently a “no-mask, no-entry” policy at Bloq. The mask must be clean and should be worn properly as well. It should have a snug fit to cover the nose and mouth and kept secured under the chin. 

Social Distancing Rule

We have implemented social distancing at all of our BLOQ Residences properties, as recommended by health officials, to curb the spread of the coronavirus. All individuals are expected to stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms' length) from other people who are not from the same household in both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Thorough Disinfection

As an extra measure to keep coronavirus at bay, all floors and surfaces in the common areas are regularly cleaned and thoroughly sterilized. 

Other Helpful Reminders

We advocate for health practices on how to stop the spread of the virus, and help encourage everyone to practice safety measures in order to protect themselves and others against COVID-19.  As recommended by , here are other things you should observe at home or at work:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Do so as well before preparing food and eating; after using the restroom; or after touching pets. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

  • Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people.

  • Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others.

  • Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow and do not spit. Throw used tissues in trash bins right away.

  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily, including doorknobs, light switches, tables, countertops, handles, desks, keyboards, phones, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

  • Be alert for symptoms. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.

This global pandemic calls for each and every person to do their part in fighting it. You can rest assured that the team at BLOQ Residences will continue to rigorously maintain practices to keep all tenants and visitors safe.
