Metro Manila placed on Alert Level 3 from Jan 3-15; stricter measures for unvaccinated ordered
Metro Manila will be under Alert Level 3 from January 3 to 15, 2022, due to a recent spike in coronavirus cases and the high possibility of local transmission of the Omicron variant.
The decision to raise the alert level was announced by Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles on New Year's Eve.
According to Nograles, the increase in cases was due to holiday activities which led to more human movement and decreased compliance with public health standards.
While intrazonal and interzonal travels are permitted, certain activities will be restricted.
The government is also developing stricter guidelines for unvaccinated individuals.
