MMDA to assess new COVID-19 alert policy in NCR 'after one week'
The COVID-19 Alert Level 4 in the National Capital Region will be evaluated after its initial week of implementation.
MMDA chair Benhur Abalos Jr. stated that if the NCR does not meet the target metrics, a second week of assessment will follow, with the hope of reaching Alert Level 3.
Lowering the alert level to 3 could potentially allow religious gatherings to accommodate up to 30% of venue capacity.
Currently, under Alert Level 4, religious gatherings are restricted to 10% indoor venue capacity and are exclusively for fully vaccinated individuals.
Outdoor religious gatherings, however, can operate at a maximum of 30% venue capacity, irrespective of vaccination status.
