Metro Manila's reproduction number up to 1.85 despite ECQ -- OCTA Research
The COVID-19 reproduction number in Metro Manila has increased to 1.85 from 1.76, according to OCTA Research, despite the implementation of enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).
OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David suggested that the restrictions might not be sufficient or the Delta variant is proving harder to contain.
The seven-day average of new cases in Metro Manila saw a 50 percent growth rate, reaching 2,901 during the Aug. 7 to 13 monitoring period.
The average daily attack rate (ADAR) in Metro Manila is now at 20.77 cases per 100,000 population, classifying the region as "high risk."
Navotas City has the highest ADAR at 47.67, followed by Makati City at 37.19, and Pasay City at 29.44.
