Optional masking in classrooms, allowed
By Creselda Canda-Lopez
“Schools may immediately implement optional masking indoors pursuant to EO 7,” Department of Education (DepEd) spokesman Atty. Michael Poa said In a message to reporters students and teachers attending face-to-face classes may now opt to remove their face masks even in classrooms as DepEd confirmed they will abide by existing national policy allowing optional masking indoors and outdoors amid COVID-19 pandemic. Poa said they “will follow Executive Order EO) 7.”
He said amendatory DepEd Order would soon be issued on the matter.
EO No. 7, signed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., grants people option not to wear their masks in indoor settings for first time since March 2020.
The order still recommends wearing of face masks for the elderly, individuals with comorbidities, immunocompromised individuals, pregnant women, as well as unvaccinated individuals, and people with COVID-19 symptoms.
Before schools reopened for in-person classes on August 22, Poa reported only 19% of learners were fully vaccinated against COVID-19, based on Learner Information System.
DepEd earlier confirmed receiving reports of COVID-19 cases in several schools. Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio, however, said this was natural consequence of reopening of different sectors, like education.
Both DepEd and Department of Health (DOH) said such events are expected since pandemic is still prevalent in the country.
Starting Wednesday, November 2, all public schools are mandated to implement full face-to-face classes, except for those granted exceptions.
Private schools, on the other hand, may continue holding either five-day face-to-face classes, a blended learning modality, or full-distance learning for the rest of the academic year.
Last month, DepEd affirmed learners had option not to wear face mask in outdoor settings based on then-national policy.
Based on EO 7, mandatory masking will still be implemented in areas such as healthcare facilities, including, but not limited to clinics, hospitals, laboratories, nursing homes, and dialysis clinics; medical transport vehicles, such as ambulances and paramedic rescue vehicles; public transportation by land, air, or sea.
