NCR Alert Level System implementation good and orderly so far- Año
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año stated that the implementation of the alert level system in the National Capital Region (NCR) has been orderly and received positive feedback.
Despite some issues, Año mentioned that these were immediately addressed.
The NCR is currently under Alert Level 4, which signifies high or increasing COVID-19 case counts and high utilization rates of hospital and intensive care unit beds.
National Task Force (NTF) against COVID-19 spokesperson Restituto Padilla said that Alert Level 4 in the NCR might be extended for two more weeks after September if it leads to reduced COVID-19 infections.
Under Alert Level 4, outdoor dining is permitted at 30% capacity for all customers, while indoor dining is allowed at 10% capacity exclusively for fully vaccinated individuals.
