The Philippines started its pilot implementation of face-to-face classes on Monday, nearly 2 years after schools were closed as lockdowns and travel restrictions were enforced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Department of Education identified 100 schools in the country for the dry run, which are located in what the Department of Health considers as “low risk” areas for the coronavirus disease.

Schools were mandated to establish mechanisms and adopt practices in observance of the minimum health protocols to ensure that the health and safety of the young learners are not compromised.

Class sizes were reduced to about 50 percent to ensure physical distancing, particularly among children accustomed to playing with their peers inside the class. Reminders not to share personal things are conspicuously posted to prevent the spread of the highly infectious coronavirus. Handwashing, temperature check and contact tracing are a must as students enter the school premises.
