MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court has unanimously decided to move the date of the Bar exams by over a week as examinees and Bar personnel feel the crunch of the unprecedented surge of coronavirus infections.

 

The Bar exams were pushed to February 4 and February 6 from January 23 to 25 in light of the spike in COVID-19 cases that has affected exam takers and Bar staff.

 

In a bar bulletin, Bar exams chairperson SC Associate Justice Marvic Leonen said 16.8% of 8,456 examinees said they are either positive for COVID-19, living with someone infected with the virus or under quarantine after being in close contact with someone infected.
