Doubling time refers to the number of days for COVID-19 cases to double in number and the standard rate of transmission should be at 7-30 days to be considered decelerating,” Muntinlupa Public Information Office wrote in a statement.Muntinlupa City also recorded “a sharp drop” of active cases from 768 on Sept. 1 to 89 cases on Oct. 19.

Muntinlupa government also noted that the transmission of COVID-19 slowed down due to the city’s efforts in mass testing, contact tracing, and information dissemination about the virus.

ConsINQ Less tests. Which something we should have done early on given almost 90% of the infected recover with less than 1% infected fatality rates.
