NCR Alert Level System would likely be extended until October- DILG exec
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is inclined to extend the pilot implementation of the Alert Level System in the National Capital Region (NCR) until October.
DILG Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III stated that the public should expect the continuation of the system beyond its initial September 30 deadline.
The Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has observed the positive effects of the alert level system on both public health and the economy.
He noted that the system allows people to go out for livelihood purposes, aiding in the reopening of the economy.
The imposition of the Alert Level System is also being considered for provinces, particularly in highly urbanized areas, following a meeting with provincial governors.
The implementation in provinces would likely start in select pilot areas if they are ready.
