The National Capital Region could experience a"rebound" of COVID-19 cases once it shifts from Alert Level 4 to level 3 this weekend, health reform advocate Dr. Tony Leachon said on Friday.
Although the positivity rate in the capital region has gone down from 29% to 14%, it is still far from the below 5% set by the World Health Organization. "We need to put the positivity rate below 5% and increase vaccination rate to at least 70%. That's the time we can open our economy or else we'll have trouble in terms of having a rebound in the next few weeks," Leachon told CNN Philippines.

DrTonyLeachon Could doesn't mean it would. Are we supposed to live in isolation forever?
DrTonyLeachon We were in a strict quarantine before but did it help on avoiding the increase of cases? No. So I guess it’s time to slowly open up the country but still follow protocols like wearing mask so that other businesses can survive too not just medical related businesses.
