Dagupan Mayor Lim declares academic health break
ALL CLASSES SUSPENDED JANUARY 18-25, 2022
DAGUPAN City Mayor Brian Lim issued a temporary academic health break for elementary to senior high school students in the city, as COVID cases in the city continue to rise.
Mayor Lim issued Executive Order No. 3-2022 on January 17, that took effect on Tuesday, January 18 to last until January 25, 2022.
The academic break covers online, on-site, and physical classes not only to enable pupils, students, teaching and non-teaching personnel of all public and private academic schools in the city some respite from physical and mental fatigue caused by the pandemic and to allow sufficient time to recalibrate minimum health protocols for COVID-19 protection.
Only school administrators and officials are given the discretion to suspend classes of their tertiary level students.
Lim said more than 250 teaching and non-teaching personnel, and 1,000 learners in the city are experiencing cough, colds, and flu-like symptoms even as four Schools Division Office personnel, and four teachers in the city tested positive for COVID-19. Others are awaiting results of their RT-PCR tests
As of January 16, Dagupan City reported 525 active cases.
OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David considered Dagupan City at ‘critical risk’, listing an Average Daily Attack Rate (ADAR) of 29.60, and an infection rate of 4.58, marking both as ‘Very High’. (Ahikam Pasion)
