Metro Manila mayors nagkasundo sa pananatili ng Alert Level 2
MANILA, Philippines — Pabor ang Metro Manila mayors na manatili pa sa Alert Level 2 status ang National Capital Region (NCR) hanggang sa Pebrero 28 na inirekomenda nila sa IATF.
“Metro mayors have considered three important reasons. In addition, only five out of 17 local government units (LGUs) in the NCR have a low-risk classification for COVID-19 transmission, while the rest have a moderate risk classification,” ayon kay Atty Romando Artes, Officer -in Charge at General Manager ng Metropolitan Manila DFevelopment Authority (MMDA).
“There is an urgent need to further await an improvement in the risk classifications of the 12 Metro Manila LGUs which are presently under moderate classification; the economic gains and advancement in health care which were realized in the past weeks under Alert Level 2 must be preserved, maintained, and improved; and a less stringent alert level in the NCR may potentially result in super spreader events in the region specially with the start of the May 2022 election campaign period,” batay sa MMDA Resolution No. 22-04, series of 2022.
Kaya naman umapela na rin si Artes, na dahil opisyal nang nagsimula ang campaign period para sa national candidate, mag-ingat na lamang ang publiko sa mga pampublikong lugar.
“We have seen a lot of candidates holding political activities such as motorcades and caravans. Hence, we do not want a COVID-19 super spreader event,” ani Artes .
Batay aniya, sa COVID-19 Situationer ng Department of Health, ang NCR nitong Pebrero 12, 2022 ay nakapagtala ng 32% ng confirmed cases ng kabuuang kaso sa bansa habang ang RT-PCR tests na naisagawa at positivity rates ng local government units (LGUs) ay nagtala ng Regional Average Positivity Rate ng 7.32%.
