In his tweet on Thursday evening, Aug. 11. OCTA fellow Dr. Guido David noted that the one-week Covid-19 growth rate has dropped to 1 percent.“While there is a possibility cases are coming to a peak, or already peaked, in the NCR , we will know next week if the trends hold,” David said.Positivity rate refers to the number of individuals who yielded positive results from among those who have been tested for Covid-19.
The World Health Organization has recommended that the Covid-19 positivity rate should remain at 5 percent or lower.
