PH sees downward trends in COVID-19 numbers

The OCTA Research Group on Thursday (Nov. 18) reported a downward trend in COVID-19-related numbers in the country.

“Right now, iyong seven-day average natin sa buong bansa ay 1,600 nalang. Iyan ang seven-day average. Bumaba siya ng 27% mula sa nakaraan na linggo. Ang reproduction number natin sa bansa ay .37 nalang. At marami pang magandang mga ibang numero tayong nakikita. Iyong positivity rate natin sa Metro Manila ay nasa 3%,” Dr. Guido David, OCTA Research Group member said during the Laging Handa public briefing.

“Ang nakikita natin ay patuloy pa ring bumababa ang bilang ng kaso. Hopefully, baka sa katapusan ng buwan ay baka nasa less than 1,000 na iyong seven-day average natin,” he added.

David said that there may still be an increase in cases if the public is not careful in following health protocols.

“Kaya kahit mataas ang bakuna, puwede pa ring magkaroon ng spike in cases at karamihan ng matatamaan niyan ay iyong mga hindi bakunado at iyong mga minors,” David said.

“Kaya kailangan patuloy ang pagsunod sa minimum public health standards para hindi mangyari sa atin iyong nangyari sa Europe,” he added. – PG-rir
