OCTA pointed out that Metro Manila's seven-day average is down 13 percent from the previous week.
"This corresponds to an ADAR (average daily attack rate) of six per 100,000, which classifies it (Metro Manila) as moderate risk," it said.

"The NCR (National Capital Region) had a positivity rate of 8 percent, with a 35 percent hospital bed occupancy, 46 percent ICU (intensive care unit) bed occupancy, and 33 percent mechanical ventilator occupancy, all are within safe levels," OCTA said.
It noted that all local government units in Metro Manila are now classified as "moderate risk" to COVID-19 infections.
