TEACHERS IN VALENZUELA CITY TO UNDERGO REGULAR SWAB TESTING

/ 8 December 2021

TEACHERS in Valenzuela City who will conduct face-to-face classes will undergo regular swab testing, Mayor Rex Gatchalian said.

He added that the regular swab testing is part of their support to the education sector and to ensure the safety of students.

“We will do swab test ng mga guro at support staff every week kasi may sarili naman kaming laboratory para masigurado nating negative sa swab ang ating mga teachers,” he said.

Two schools in Valenzuela were allowed to hold physical classes — the Tagalag Elementary School and Disiplina Vlllage Bignay Elementary School.

The first day of face-to-face classes on Monday was “smooth,” the mayor said.

“Pareho silang apat na section ang tumakbo at bawat section, 16 ang estudyante. Mataas ‘yung antas ng minimum health standards. Wala namang untoward incident,” he added.
