MANILA, Philippines — There is a probability that Metro Manila will be placed under Alert Level 4 amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said

According to Duque, the healthcare utilization in Metro Manila has not yet reached the threshold required for Alert Level 4 but noted that this may rapidly increase.

“So iyon ang kinatatakutan natin. Pinaghahandaan natin ‘yan kaya hindi malayo na ang NCR ay magpasya na mag-Alert Level 4,” he added. Based on guidelines of the Inter-Agency Task Force of the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases as of December 14, 2021, intrazonal and interzonal travel is allowed under Alert Level 4 subject to regulations of local government units, except for those below 18 years old, those above 65 years old, those with comorbidity or other health risks, and pregnant women.
