Raising the alert level status to 2 is not yet seen by the national government as the metrics set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases still need to be considered following the rise in COVID-19 infections in the country, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said Wednesday.
In a Dobol B TV interview, Año said that discussions with the IATF should be made first before raising the alert level status of many areas, including the National Capital Region , which are under Alert Level 1 until June 15. “Ang atin kasing metrics para pumunta sa Alert Level 2 ay ‘yung number ng cases at rate ng hospitalization natin. So medyo hindi pa naman tayo papasok diyan sa Alert Level 2. Marami pa tayong titignan na metrics,” he said.
