Health Secretary Francisco Duque 3rd on Sunday said it was not the right time to suspend classes even after the number of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases in the country has risen to six.

“Hindi pa tama iyon,” Duque said in reaction to the decision of Navotas City Mayor Tobias Tiangco to cancel classes starting today, Monday, as a precaution against the spread of the disease and to Tiangco’s proposal to give students automatic passing grades.
