Despite the improvement in these metrics, which are among the factors considered in easing quarantine measures, Vergeire warned the public against complacency, especially as Metro Manila is expected to shift to general community quarantine next week.
Based on the DOH’s own framework though, a locality can be considered to be at moderate risk for coronavirus infection and allowed to shift to a lower level of quarantine only if its case doubling time is between seven and 30 days or it does not meet the outbreak threshold. Its critical care utilization rate should be between 30 percent and 70 percent.
The number of recovered patients climbed to 3,506 with the recovery of 94 more patients. The death toll, however, increased to 904 as 18 patients succumbed to COVID-19, the severe respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus. To augment the health-care workforce, the DOH launched an emergency hiring program, which to date has already deployed 2,730 front-line workers to 204 hospitals and quarantines across the country.Vergeire said the DOH was also looking for around 95,000 contact tracers to meet the standard of 1 contact tracer for every 800 suspected virus carriers.
