Kumpiyansa si Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary, Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) member Menardo Guevarra na isasailalim sa COVID-19 Alert Level 1 ang Metro Manila simula sa susunod na buwan.
“If the metrics remain stable, if not further go down, I think the IATF may consider de-escalating the NCR by March 2022.What we don’t want to see is a reason to ratchet back to a higher alert level, as that will really be counter-productive,” ani Guevarra na kabilang din sa miyembro ng IATF-MEID.
Kamakailan, isinailalim ang National Capital Region sa Alert Level 2 hanggang Pebrero 15.
Nitong Miyerkules, Pebrero 9, naitala pa ng Department of Health (DOH) ang 3,651 kaso ng COVID-19 sa Pilipinas.
“I would really want to see the NCR liberated to Alert Level 1 so that we could keep the momentum of economic recovery going.But I think we need a little more time to observe the effects of recent mass gatherings relating to the start of the election campaign period,” pagbibigay-diin pa ng opisyal.
