Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said on Tuesday, Feb. 15 that they will assess the safety seal program being implemented by the government on Thursday and if it is up to par, then the National Capital Region may ease to Alert Level 1 by the first week of March.
Alert Level 1, according to Duque, will be the “new normal” but underscored the very important point that even if NCR will be under Alert Level 1, the following minimum public health standards will remain. Metro Manila is currently under low-risk case classification.In his report during the President’s pre-recorded public address, Duque said that the country registered a low-risk two-week growth rate of negative 74 percent and an average daily attack rate of 5.26 per 100,000 population.
Duque mentioned that the Metro Manila Development Council had passed a resolution addressed to IATF to allow them to continue with the current Alert Level 2 status. He explained that this was granted since the council is the one actually in-charge of managing the pandemic response on the ground.
