The census personnel will be provided with the necessary PPE materials such as face masks, face shield, and alcohol as safety precautions against COVID-19. They are also instructed on the strict adherence to the health safety protocols such as physical distancing during interviews, wearing of PPEs and frequent washing of hands or use of alcohol. The 2020 CPH is a nationwide government undertaking that involves the collection, compilation, evaluation, analysis, publication, and dissemination of data on population count, and housing, household and barangay characteristics. It will be the 15th census of population and 7th census of housing in the Philippines.
