The National Capital Region's COVID-19 cases one-week growth rate climbed to 71%, independent group OCTA Research said Saturday. "This translates to an ADAR of 1.24," it added. ADAR pertains to the incidence showing the average number of new cases in a period per 100,000 people.
The coronavirus reproduction number meanwhile also went up to 1.80 in NCR as of June 14, an increase over the 1.40 as of June 7. The reproduction rate refers to the number of people infected by one case. A reproduction number that is below 1 indicates that the transmission of the virus is slowing down.
OCTA however noted that despite the rise in these metrics in NCR, the hospital bed utilization and ICU utilization rates are still low at 22% and 17%, respectively.
