There is no need yet to escalate the existing Alert Level 3 in Metro Manila even amid the surge of COVID-19 cases, a WHOPhilippines official said Wednesday.
Dr. Rabindra Abeyasinghe, WHO Country Representative to the Philippines, made the position less than three days before the Alert Level 3 prevailing in Metro Manila lapses.
He was referring to new COVID-19 cases recorded last January 11 which went down at 28,000 from the record setting level of 33,000 new COVID-19 cases in a day last January 10. "Our projection is that the Philippines, even if current trends continue until the end of the month, the red line analysis is that we can manage the health care system until January 27 to 28, and with trends yesterday, we may even manage even beyond that," he added.
The Alert Level 3 protocol prohibits in person classes for basic education, karaoke and indoor entertainment, gatherings of people not belonging to the same household, casino/horse racing/cockfighting operations and contact sports except for bubble set up.
