5 Manila areas under granular lockdown due to rising COVID-19 cases
As of Thursday, five barangays in Manila are under granular lockdown due to rising COVID-19 infections, down from 13 areas a month ago.
The lockdown affects only Manila within Metro Manila and includes Tondo 1 with 29 cases, San Andres with 12, and Pandacan and Sampaloc each with seven active cases.
OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David warned that the recent spike in positivity rate could indicate more than just holiday-related increases.
On December 28, only three areas were under lockdown, highlighting a gradual increase over the past few days.
