Supreme Court (File photo) MANILA - The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday rescheduled anew the Bar Examination due to the Covid-19 situation. Th exam will now be held on February 4 and 6, instead of the previous January 23 and 25, citing a high rate of infection among examinees and support personnel. The SC said 16.8 percent of the 8,546 Bar examinees who responded to an e-mail are either positive for Covid-19, living with someone positive for the virus, or under quarantine as a direct contact and are at risk of not being able to take the examination if the original schedule were to push through. Given the current infection rate and quarantine situation of the Bar personnel, the SC bulletin stated that 16 of the 31 teams that will be deployed will be critically understaffed if the current schedule were maintained. Examinees were advised to strictly undergo quarantine by January 20. The SC earlier said examinees who will test positive for Covid-19 will be denied entry to their local testing
