Navotas City Mayor Toby Tiangco yesterday announced the suspension of classes on all levels in Navotas tomorrow due to the novel coronavirus 2019.
Tiangco said suspension of classes is part of the preventive measures being taken by the city against the COVID-19.
He expressed hope that the Department of Education would automatically pass students this school year following the two new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country so they would not have to attend classes anymore.
There is only about a month left in school year 2019-2020.
“We must take all necessary precautions to protect our people, especially our children, from this disease,” he said, adding that there is an urgent need to implement proactive measures to help prevent transmission of COVID-19. (Joseph Pedrajas)
