Catanduanes under Alert Level 4 as nationwide implementation of policy begins
The 5-step alert level system was pilot-tested in Metro Manila in September as the country attempted to loosen restrictions to reopen the economy while implementing granular lockdowns to contain COVID-19.
Metro Manila and the rest of the regions were placed under Alert Level 2, which allows establishments a maximum of 50 percent indoor capacity for fully vaccinated individuals and those below 18, even if unvaccinated, and 70 percent outdoor capacity. In Metro Manila, both ward beds and ICU beds are at a "low risk" utilization rate of 24.75 percent and 30.6 percent.
The DOH spokesperson, meantime, underscored the importance of observing minimum public health standards as government noted the rise of virus cases in Western nations.
