A teachers group on Saturday demanded the “strict observance” of health protocols and work arrangements from the Department of Education after receiving several reports of suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases involving teachers.

“This pandemic is a serious threat to life and safety of our teachers, thus, the DepEd should take this seriously as well,” said TDC Secretary-General Emmalyn Policarpio. “We have received some information that several teachers who were earlier required to report physically to their schools were eventually tested positive for COVID-19,” Policarpio noted.

The group also demanded the agency to warn its field officials or take administrative actions for those who violate the order. Meanwhile, TDC acknowledged the formal reply of the DepEd Central Office to its letter reiterating the request for a definite instruction to clarify the intention of the DepEd Order No. 11, s. 2020 or the alternative work arrangement in the department.
