The Philippine government on Friday evening (Dec. 31) announced placing the National Capital Region (NCR) under Alert Level 3 from Jan. 3 to 15, 2022.
In an announcement aired over PTV, Cabinet Secretary and Acting Presidential Spokesperson Karlo Nograles said the reversion followed the increase in mobility and a decrease in health protocol compliance.
“Nakita naman natin sa mga nakaraang araw na nag-increase exponentially ang mga kaso dahil sa holiday activities kung saan tumaas ang movement ng mga tao, at bumaba ang compliance sa minimum public health standards,” he said.
“Isa rin sa dahilan ang detection ng local cases ng Omicron variant. The epidemiological investigation on the three local cases indicates there is a high possibility of local transmission ng Omicron,” he added.
Below are the list of activities and establishments allowed under Alert Levels 2 and 3:
