Cotabato, Iligan now ‘moderate risk’ for COVID-19, says OCTA
The OCTA Research group anticipates that most highly urbanized cities (HUCs) in Mindanao will transition from high risk to moderate risk by next week due to observed downward trends in COVID-19 cases.
Currently, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Davao City, General Santos, and Zamboanga City remain classified as high-risk areas.
Cotabato City and Iligan have already improved to moderate risk status as of February 9, 2022.
A classification of high risk is defined by an average daily attack rate (ADAR) exceeding 7 per 100,000 population, while moderate risk falls between 1 and 7.
The reproduction number for all HUCs in Mindanao is currently below 1, indicating a declining transmission rate.
