DAVAO CITY - Some Dabawenyos on Wednesday welcomed the lifting of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) restrictions as a good sign to start and bounce back from the pandemic. In an interview, Ellen Estacaan, school information coordinator of San Roque Central Elementary School, said she is optimistic about the face-to-face (F2F) classes with the easing of the restrictions. "I am looking forward to an F2F class with my learners. And soon we can start our limited F2F classes to those learners whose parents are also willing to send their children back to school," she told Philippine News Agency (PNA) here. Estacaan added that the city is capable of handling limited in-person classes as they were also told by the Department of Education (DepEd) to be ready as soon as the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. "When it comes to safety, we must always follow the health protocols and get vaccinated. The vaccine is of great help to keep ourselves immune from the virus," she said.
