Metro Manila and other areas will stay under Alert Level 1 from July 1 to 15, 2022.

The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) revised the Alert Level System matrices, removing the two-week growth rate and relying instead on average daily attack rates and current thresholds for case-risk classification.

Under Alert Level 1, travel within and between zones is permitted regardless of age or comorbidities, and establishments and activities are allowed to operate at full capacity provided minimum public health standards are observed.

The Department of Health (DOH) recorded a 53 percent increase of new Covid-19 cases from June 20 to 26, with 4,634 new cases reported.

The COVID-19 positivity rate in Metro Manila increased to 5.9% as of June 25, up from 3.9% on June 18, according to OCTA Research.

Neighboring provinces of Region 4A-Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Lucena City, and Rizal are also under Alert Level 1.
