Keeping Metro Manila under Alert Level 3 'good move': ex-gov't adviser
MANILA— A former adviser to the government’s pandemic task force on Saturday expressed support for it's decision to retain Alert Level 3 in Metro Manila for at least two more weeks despite the decline in COVID-19 infections.
The first case of the B.1.1.318 was detected in a 34-year old male patient who returned to the Philippines from the United Arab Emirates last March 5. The patient recovered from the respiratory illness on March 21. “In-expect ko na nga na maluwag na 'yung alert level 2 kasi mababa na 'yung cases at single digits na 'yung positivity rate pero dumagdag itong presence ng mga variants na mino-monitor natin,” he said.“I think enough 'yung Nov. 1 to 14 to observe kung 'yung Dolomite ay may spike na mangyayari at ang effect din ng variant in the next two weeks ay mag-spike sa UK or other countries para makapag-travel ban ka sa ibang country kasi after that Pasko na,” he said.
