For the first time since the Omicron variant surge in January, there was no Covid-19 case recorded here on Friday, March 11, 2022.
BAGUIO CITY – “This is a welcome news and especially that the city’s cases have been on the decline in the last 6 weeks, but let us not be complacent and still maintain the minimum health standard, because the virus has not completely disappeared,” said Mayor Benjamin Magalong.However, Magalong said Covid cases in the city are expected to slightly increase in the next few days due to increased mobility brought about by eased quarantine requirements and entry protocols.
“As of now our cases are way below the threshold but we expect a slight increase in the next ten days. We are okay as long as the number does not intersect the baseline otherwise that will be a red flag,” he added. “At present we are closely monitoring the mobility graph and we have seen an upward trend so it follows that the cases will also follow the trend but we can manage as long as it is within our threshold,” the mayor said.
