The Philippines remained at “very low risk” classification for Covid-19 even if the number of fresh cases are no longer dropping over the past week, the independent research group OCTA said on Saturday, April 9.
“Nasa very low risk pa rin tayo. Yung positivity rate ay around 1.6 percent nationwide. Mababa din yung hospitalization [rate] natin. Yung ADAR [average daily attack rate] natin below 1, yung reproduction [number] natin medyo tumaas ng konti ,” David pointed out.
“Possible talaga na magkaroon ng pagtaas ng bilang ng kaso dahil ngayon nagsisimula na magkaroon tayo ng waning immunity. January tayo nagka-surge, ngayon nakatatlong buwan na, posibleng may mga kababayan tayo na yung antibody levels nila ay bumababa ,” David said.
