THE DEPARTMENT of Health disclosed that 3,900 Covid19 cases were reported in schools nationwide from September 1 to November 3.

The Department of Education directed the implementation of full face-to-face classes in public schools beginning November 2.

DoH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said that there were no severe cases among the students.

“Wala namang naitala na namatay na estudyante because of this,” she said.

The data came from the agency’s surveillance report. The DepEd has yet to submit its own report on Covid19 infection.

The Education department has allowed the voluntary use of face masks in schools
