A bitter pill to swallow, for the good
of everyone.
According to a think tank from the
University of the Philippines (UP) said that moving the start of classes
to December will “greatly” reduce the transmission of the novel coronavirus
2019 disease or COVID-19.
UP Resilience Institute head Professor
Mahar Lagmay explains that persons who are younger or are from the age group of
0 to 19 years old make the most physical interaction according to studies.

“Nung tiningnan din
po ang mga numbers ng mga schools, interaction rather ng different age groups,
yung 0 o 19 years old, yung mga matatanda, nakita po dun sa models na yung
interaction ay pinaka malaki kapagka yung mga bata ang nag iinteract,” Lagmay
said in an online Palace briefing.
(When the number of
schools or interactions of different age groups was looked into, between those
from 0 to 19 years old age groups and the older ones, it was found out that the
most interactions made based on models are the younger ones.)
“Kapag tayo ay
walang klase, ito po ay nirerekomenda, ‘pag walang klase hanggang December ay
malaki po ang maibabawas natin sa transmission ng COVID-19,” he added.
(If we do not have
classes, and this is being recommended, if there are no classes until December,
there will be a big decrease in the transmission of COVID-19.)
School classes in
all level have been suspended since the month of March to complement the strict
compliance of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) protocols as laid down by
the national government.
According to the Department of Education (DepEd)s said stakeholders and
experts were leaning towards holding off the opening of classes until August as
the COVID-19 crisis continues.
