Will Metro Manila be placed under Alert Level 2?
By Norman Son Adriano 14 Jun 2022 588

Metro Manila which is currently on Alert Level 1 status since March might be placed under Level 2 according to the Department of Health. Cases of the Covid-19 continue to increase in number day by day which escalates the possibility of Alert Level 2. About 308 cases were added on the list on Sunday, June 12.

In an interview with DOH undersecretary  Maria Rosario Vergeire, she said that

"If cases continue to increase, and if our hospital admissions will increase, if that happens, we will shift and escalate to Alert Level 2,"

"What's important is that we don't see a significant spike in severe and critical cases, and we have no problems at the hospital.  The possibility would always be there, if the cases increase, but our kababayans must understand that we are learning to live with the virus. The virus won't go away, it will stay with us so in these mild and asymptomatic cases, it should be acceptable to the population." she explained.

On a seperate public briefing in Malacanang, infectious disease expert Dr. Rontgene Solante said that putting alert level 2 within Metro Manila would result in a more conscious public regarding the transmission of the virus.

“If there is an indication that we have to enhance or increase the alert level so that everyone will also be conscious about the status na talagang tumaas ang kaso then we should do that,” he said. 

Moreover, he emphasized that level 2 status will strengthen the implementation of mitigating measures in order to avoid any critical level. 

“We need to protect the health care viability ng healthcare natin because once we see na nakikita natin ang pagtaas ng kaso  and at the same time, marami rin ang na-admit dahil sa dami ng kaso then that is something na medyo hindi maganda,” he highlighted.
