OCTA: NCR positivity rate up, urges public health protocols

The Covid-19 positivity rate in the National Capital Region (NCR) slightly increased to 0.77 from December 16 to 22, according to OCTA Research Group.

OCTA noted that this uptick may be due to holiday social gatherings and urged the public to follow health protocols while enjoying the holidays.

OCTA fellow Dr. Guido David said a clearer picture of the situation would not be seen until the first week of January 2022 due to decreased testing over the holiday season.
