The Senate will be on full lockdown on Tuesday, March 16. But it will be on a semi-lockdown on Wednesday, March 17 as the Senate offices have to be fumigated tomorrow.
The Senate, however, will take up on Wednesday only two bills that do not require amendments as they need to be taken down by stenographers.
The powerful bicameral Commission on Appointments (CA), on the other hand, would have its committee hearing and possibly plenary session on Wednesday since its has no COVID-19 problems, according to Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III who is the concurrent CA chairman.
The CA has stenographic staff that are separate from that of the Senate, Sotto added.

JEFFERSON CITY (AP) Missouri s presidential electors cast all 10 of the state s votes for Republican President Donald Trump during a brief, formal ceremony Monday at the state Capitol.
Though Democrat Joe Biden won nationally, Trump easily carried Missouri with nearly 57% of the vote in the Nov. 3 presidential election.
Missouri s Electoral College member were chosen earlier this year by a vote of Republican Party members. The electors included state Sen. Dan Hegeman, state Rep. Glen Kolkmeyer and several other state and local Republican Party leaders.
They met in the ornate Senate Lounge, where they each wrote the name of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on paper ballots. The 10-0 vote for Trump and Pence was then publicly announced by a representative of Gov. Mike Parson s office.
