National and regional events involving learners and teachers as well as other off-campus activities may resume on Monday after the Department of Education lifted their temporarily suspension due to the threat of novel coronavirus.

Education Secretary Leonor Briones has issued DepEd Memo No. 23, Series of 2020, or the “Third Set of Policy Directives on COVID-19” stating that “all DepEd units may already resume the conduct of national, regional, and or off-campus activities” starting Feb. 24, “provided all precautionary measures” identified by DepEd and Department of Health are “strictly followed.”

DepEd had earlier ordered the suspension of national and regional activities scheduled this February as a preventive measure against COVID-19.

National activities suspended as a precautionary measure against COVID-19 include the National Science and Technology Fair, the National Festival of Talents, and the National School
