COVID risk in Metro Manila down to 'very high' from 'severe' -- OCTA
OCTA Research Fellow Dr. Guido David announced that Metro Manila's COVID-19 risk level has been downgraded from "severe outbreak" to "very high."
This downgrade is attributed to the steady decline of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in the region, with the reproduction number decreasing to 1.20 from 2.95.
The COVID-19 growth rate in Metro Manila has also dropped to -42 percent, indicating a clear downward trajectory in new cases.
While the average daily attack rate (ADAR) has decreased to 72 cases per day per 100,000 people, it is still considered "very high."
David noted that the current number of new cases is tracking slightly below previous projections.
Despite the decrease, he stressed that Metro Manila remains at a very high risk for infections.
