OCTA: NCR COVID-19 reproduction number slightly up but still at low risk

'While some LGUs had a one week growth rate, all 17 LGUs had reproduction numbers less than 0.9. This means all LGUs in the NCR are still on a downward trend,' says OCTA.

The National Capital Region's COVID-19 reproduction number , or the number of individuals an infected person can pass the virus to, has inched higher but remains at low-risk, according to OCTA Research's latest report.

"While some LGUs had a one week growth rate, all 17 LGUs had reproduction numbers less than 0.9," said OCTA."This means all LGUs in the NCR are still on a downward trend."
