OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David said the government may consider further easing of some restrictions in the NCR Plus bubble as trends continue to improve in most parts of Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal.David said that the coronavirus disease risk classification of NCR has been downgraded to “moderate risk” from “high risk” due to a downtrend in COVID cases.
“There is a spike. We can’t really say it’s a surge yet but definitely, there is an increase in cases,” he added. OCTA has been pushing for the vaccination of 50 percent of “high-risk” areas, which include the cities of Tuguegarao, Santiago, Baguio, Cainta, Cebu, and Imus, including Metro Manila to achieve “herd containment.”
