Kung 60 to 70 percent of the cases are in the National Capital Region , being the epicenter, we might put it on Alert Level 4 so that hindi na kumalat [ang infections] ,” said Leachon in an interview over DZRH.

Leachon likewise said that the Omicron is now the “dominant” variant based on the available indicators such as the rapid transmissibility of infections and the increase in the number of mild cases that the country witnessed recently.

Expert: Raise alert level status in areas high-risk for COVID-19An infectious diseases expert expressed belief that there is a need to impose higher alert levels in areas with ballooning COVID-19 cases. You mean NCR to Alert 4 or lockdown. Wala na daw pang ayuda sabi ng the best Prez in the world. Kaya bahala na daw kayo sa sarili nyo. D talaga kayo nagkakasundo ng statements ng business sector. Sila ayaw nila ng higher restrictions at maguguyom daw ang pamilya. Nililito na niyo ang mamamayan sa mga pinagsasabi niyo. totally agree to this. Full lockdown kahit 15 days lang to fully stop the spread. Magbigay ng cash ayuda, may budget naman. Sa laki ng inutang, dapat may pera pa.
