MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): There will be no plastic barriers when Comembo Elementary School (CES) in Makati City welcomes its students participating in the limited in-person classes on Monday (Dec 6).

Instead, CES, one of the biggest public schools in the city, has decided to go for the “more scientific” air purifiers and ultraviolet C (UVC) lights inside the classrooms to ensure proper ventilation and help protect the children from virus transmission.
