TO PROTECT the health of students and teachers amid the Covid19 surge, Manila Mayor Francisco ‘Isko Moreno’  Domagoso on Thursday declared a one-week health break.

The break will be from January 14 to 21.

“The City of Manila is declaring a health break starting January 14 to January 21, 2022. Walang pasok, online or physical classes in all levels,” he said.

“Para magka-health break naman, mabawasan ang anxiety ng mga guro, magulang at estudyante,” he added.

Several schools in the National Capital Region earlier cancelled classes and work amid the rising Covid19 infections.

The Philippines logged a record number of new infections on Thursday — 34,021.
