The average Covid-19 test done in the city in the last two weeks is 290; hospital critical utilization rate is 16.09 percent; and isolation facility bed occupancy of 16.73 percent, Galpo said.

She said the city is now strengthening the vaccine booster in markets and parks under the "PinasLakas" campaign that started on July 26 and ends October 8.

The booster shot ramp up is in accordance with the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. that on or before the end of his first 100 days in office on October 8, there is 90 percent coverage for the primary series of 85 percent of the senior citizens and a 50 percent coverage of the first booster of 70 percent of the general population.
