Laguna has been placed under Alert Level 3 by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) from January 7 to January 15, 2022, due to a significant rise in COVID-19 cases.

The decision was approved by the IATF on January 5, 2022, based on the recommendation of its sub-Technical Working Group on Data Analytics.
