WITH the apparent rise in the number of influenza-like cases spreading in Metro Manila, the Department of Education announced that all public schools would revert to online cases.
In a document signed by Jocelyn Dr Andaya, DepEd NCR Regional Director, all public schools suspend face-to-face classes from October 13 to 14.
It said that they had noted an increase in influenza-like illnesses spreading among students and school staff.
The Department of Education-National Capital Region (DepEd NCR) had said that schools shall implement Alternative Delivery Modalities to “avoid disruption of learning” during this period.
Likewise the department also noted the sharp rise in the incident of earthquakes occurring all over the country as a reason behind the class suspensions.
During the two days, the DepEd NCR instructed the public schools to disinfect, sanitize, and inspect their buildings and facilities.
Meanwhile, they instructed the schools to prepare for earthquake drills, and other emergency protocols, and implement health and safety practices.
“Private schools are also highly encouraged to observe and conduct these measures,” DepEd advised.
Marikina had earlier suspended classes on the same dates in all levels for both private and public schools due to the spike in flu and flu-like illnesses.
