The OCTA Research Group on Tuesday (Feb. 15) reported that the positivity rate in Metro Manila is now down from 8.5% to 6.8%.
“Iyong 8.5% noong isang araw, as of yesterday. In-update namin iyong positivity rate. Nasa 6.8% nalang sa Metro Manila, so, magandang balita iyan. Patuloy na bumababa. Medyo malapit na tayo doon sa 5% na benchmark ng World Health Organization for positivity rate,” OCTA member Dr. Guido David said during the Laging Handa public briefing.
“Basta sumunod tayo sa health protocols ay tingin natin na tuloy-tuloy na pababa ang bilang ng kaso over the next two weeks. Safely, by March 1 ay I think naabot na natin iyong 5%. Most likely before Mar. 1,” he said.
Meanwhile, the average daily attack rate in NCR is now at 3.96[%].
“Sa ngayon, nasa 3.96 iyong ADAR sa Metro Manila. Doon sa indicators na aming tinitignan, possible by next week or two weeks at the latest ay bababa ito sa low risk iyong ADAR,” David said.
