CONTINGENCY PLAN – COVID 19

I. INTRODUCTION
As infections from the 2019-coV coronavirus continued to spread in early 2020, the WHO
declared that they no longer use a formal classification to designate when an epidemic becomes a
pandemic.
Different measures were taken to control the spread of the virus including lockdown in the various
parts of the affected countries. A few medications also helped to treat the infected patients. However,
trials of vaccinations are still in progress. The pandemic has affected all aspects of life be it social,
economic, health or environment.
Concerned premature use of the term could cause panic; officials instead described the global
epidemic as having "pandemic potential", while claiming that they were not yet observing the
"uncontained global spread" of the virus.
The focus of this plan is to make the children and school personnel to become aware on how to do or
what to do on in times of PANDEMIC. The significance of this plan is to make school become safer and
learner-centered. As the mission of the SDRRM-NE “ Iba ang May Alam” “ Laging Handa” in the New
Normal.
II. SCHOOL BACKGROUND

Bantug Elementary School is one of the medium schools in the District of Guimba East. The school is
spearheaded by JOSEPH MAR S. AQUINO, School Principal II, working harmoniously with twelve (12)
competent and dedicated permanent teachers, two (1) Utility-Security Officers, and Three hundred forty-three
(343) enrollees as of this month of November 2022.
The school is very accessible of transportation and communication and the school is a Child-Friendly
School where teachers and the School Head harmoniously and religiously implement the DepEd Programs
and Projects with the active cooperation and participation of its stakeholders towards achieving quality
education. The school is offering Kindergarten to Grade Six and also Madrasah education for Muslims. The
teachers are guided by the K-12 Curriculum which offers different learning areas namely: English,
Mathematics, Science, Filipino, and Makabayan. The school also support the DepEd programs such as “Every
Child a Reader Program”.

III. OBJECTIVES
This is the DepEd Contingency Plan of Bantug Elementary School S.Y. 2022-2023. Formulate plans/
programs on covid-19 and ensures the safety of the school, community and the environment awareness on the

2
CORONA VIRUS-2019 pandemic. This Contingency Plan is intended to set out the response processes in the
event of a COVID-19 confirmed exposure or outbreak. In addition to guiding safety protocols and institutional
response in such an event, this plan also provides direction if a university community member indicates that
they have tested positive, have had exposure to a positive case, or is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
This 2023 Contingency Plan-COVID 19 covers Bantug Elementary School, Schools Division of
Nueva Ecija - SDO Guimba East Annex, Region III. It focuses on developing schools’ capability and
preparedness on the NEW NORMAL for the school year 2022-2023.

This document was developed by the School Safety Monitoring Officer and COVID 19 Focal Person/School
Health Coordinator and Barangay. Health Workers (BHW), Coordinators of the affected and assisting areas.
This Contingency Plan aims to:
1. Establish the coordination and communication mechanisms among the barangay officials and the affected and
assisting areas
2. Align with the Harmonized Local Contingency Plan for the BANUTG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL of the
Barangay Health Workers ( BHW’s)).
3. Set the response and rehabilitation or early recovery roles and functions of the DepEd district office and the
affected and assisting areas for purposes of education continuity.
4. Provide guidance for the continuing capacity building of DepEd offices and schools.
5. Determine the preparedness and prevention and mitigation measures to reduce the impacts of the COVID 19
6. Support the identification of needed equipment and supplies to reduce the impacts of the COVID 19

IV. PANDEMIC ( COVID -19) VULNERABILITY

COVID-19 does not discriminate, but its impact does. As the pandemic exacerbates existing vulnerabilities,
inequalities, poverty and exclusion also impair efforts to contain the outbreak.

There is still considerable uncertainty around the fatality rates of COVID-19 and definitely it varies depending on the
quality of local health care and the availability of test kits to determine the number of people positively suffering with
the virus. In fact, when one considers the rapidly changing numbers of the mortality and transmissibility, the figures
quickly get scary.

Bantug Elementary School has already records of person infected from the virus. The SDRRM Team also has
its strong advocacy to disseminate information about the different hazards that could occur and the things that
they should do as COVID-19 strikes anytime. The school puts efforts to capacitate every teacher, staff, pupils
and its stakeholders for them to be vigilant and functionally literate citizens during the New Normal . As the
DRRM advocate says: Iba ang May Alam! Bida ang Handa!
