DAILY coronavirus infections in Manila, the capital and nearby cities could hit as many as 1,000 by end-June, putting it under a moderate risk classification, according to a local research group.

Cases are unlikely to decline significantly anytime soon, OCTA Research Group fellow Fredegusto P. David told a televised news briefing on Tuesday.

Metro Manila, an economic powerhouse that is home to more than 13 million people, is under the first level in a five-tier alert system, which is being updated every 15 days. “Forecasts show hospital bed occupancy will remain manageable and no escalation of alert levels at this time.” “Here in NCR, [the increase is] already significant,” she said. “This morning, I had an interview and I only reported about 130 average daily cases in the NCR,” she told the Monday evening interview.

The Philippines posted 3,051 infections from June 13 to 19, 82% higher than a week earlier, health authorities said on Monday. Of the total, fewer than 1% or 15 were critical.
