No suspension of classes in Davao amid Covid-19: DepEd
The Department of Education in Region 11 (DepEd 11) is not suspending classes due to COVID-19, as the alert level remains at Code Red Sublevel 1, not the required Code Red Sublevel 2.
DepEd 11 Spokesperson Genielito Atillo stated that suspending classes with only two weeks left in the school calendar would be unnecessary, but local officials should consult with DepEd first before making such decisions.
Three cities in Davao del Norte and one municipality suspended their classes starting Wednesday due to the coronavirus scare.
The Davao Region remains free from the virus, and the sole patient under investigation has tested negative.
Graduation rites and moving-up exercises are permitted from April 13 to 17, with private schools needing to follow Department of Health protocols.
The Davao Regional Athletic Association (DAVRAA) meet has been indefinitely suspended.
