Street sweepers in the Philippines dance together to warm up for another day of work - keeping the city clean during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mercy Perez Dalida, 50, one of the street sweeper in Mandaluyong City said that they want to cheer up each other now that the streets have become empty because of the coronavirus lockdown.

She said: "We still work the night shifts together and you have no one to talk to because we are assigned to our areas to clean. In the daytime, when we see each other in the morning we do a little activity to socialise."

Street sweepers are deemed essential workers in the Philippines so they continue with their work despite the Covid-19 coronavirus lockdown.
