COVID alert level 2 for Metro Manila justified by decline in new cases --- Concepcion

Citing the continued downtrend in new coronavirus disease cases, Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion has pushed for the further lowering of alert level in the National Capital Region .

During the meeting, OCTA Research Group presented data showing the plunge in the number of COVID-19 cases, not only in Metro Manila but in other parts of the country. The NCR is currently under alert level 3 until Oct. 31. This means that indoor businesses such as restaurants and personal care services are allow to operate at 30 percent capacity for fully vaccinated individuals and at 50 percent outdoor capacity regardless of vaccination status, provided that all employees of the establishments are fully vaccinated.

“Increasing capacity would require additional manpower, which is also a welcome development for those who temporarily lost their jobs or are currently working on alternate shifts just to give everyone a chance to earn. Now they also have an opportunity to earn a living for their family’s needs,” he added.
