OCTA: Quezon City now ‘very low risk’ for Covid-19
Quezon City has been classified as "very low risk" for COVID-19 by OCTA Research due to a significant decrease in daily cases.
The city is now averaging 25 new COVID-19 cases daily, a substantial drop that places it in the very low-risk category.
This translates to an average daily attack rate (ADAR) of 0.79 per 100,000 people.
The reproduction number in Quezon City has remained stable at 0.23, indicating a slowdown in virus transmission.
Furthermore, the one-week growth rate for new cases is at -22%.
Quezon City's case numbers represent approximately 16% of the total cases in the National Capital Region (NCR).
OCTA Research projects that the NCR may also move to a "very low risk" classification soon, as its ADAR is currently at 1.09 and nearing the threshold of below 1.
