Metro Manila is now at moderate risk for COVID-19, as it recently saw a slight decline in cases, the Department of Health (DOH) says.

In early August, the National Capital Region was tagged as high risk for COVID-19 due to huge case spikes, which forced the region to return to the strictest enhanced community quarantine. The government recently relaxed the movement restrictions in the region, implementing a new version of the general community quarantine, which maximizes granular lockdowns.

Average daily attack rate, defined as the number of infected people per 100,000 population, slightly dipped to 36.59, from 37.11 logged by Metro Manila three to four weeks ago, she said. Meanwhile, the region's two-week growth rate of cases went down to -1% in the past 14 days, from 34% recorded three to four weeks ago, Vergeire noted.

Metro Manila logged a daily average of 4,480 infections from Sept. 17 to 23 — a 23% decrease from the 5,842 tallied the week prior, Vergeire said.The region's average number of COVID-19 cases recorded per day may reach 6,085 by the end of the month, then drop to 4,450 by October 30, the health official noted, citing projections.
