“Board exams can resume safely in MGCQ (modified general community quarantine) areas and in more spacious locations so that up to two meters of physical distancing can be followed, along with the use of face masks, face shields, and other precautions,” Siao said in a statement Tuesday.
Siao, chairman of the House Committee on Professional Regulation, said the campuses of state universities and colleges (SUCs) would be well-suited for the conduct of safe board exams.
Practically the entire country is under MGCQ, except for Metro Manila, Batangas, Iloilo City, Tacloban City, Lanao del Sur, Iligan, Davao City. These seven locations are under the slightly more stringent GCQ.
