ALAM naman natin na marami talaga ang nagbakasyon at namasyal nitong Semana Santa, pero hindi alintana na mayroon pa ring pandemya dahil sa COVID-19.
Dahil diyan ay naglabas ng report ang independent pandemic monitor na OCTA Research at ayon sa kanila ay biglang tumaas ang “positivity rate” o bilang ng mga nahahawaan ng virus sa Metro Manila.
Ayon sa tweet ni OCTA research fellow Guido David, lumobo ng 6.5% ang Metro Manila nitong April 8, mas mataas kumpara noong April 1 na nasa 4.4% lamang.
Bukod sa NCR, may iba pang lugar na mahigit 5% ang naging positivity rate at kabilang na riyan ang Benguet, Camarines Sur, Cavite, Cebu, Davao del Sur, Isabela, Misamis Oriental, Negros Occidental, Palawan, Rizal at South Cotabato.
NCR 7-day positivity rate increased from 4.4% to 6.5% as of April 8 2023. Positivity rates were also above 5% in Benguet, Camarines Sur, Cavite, Cebu, Davao del Sur, Isabela, Misamis Oriental, Negros Occidental, Palawan, Rizal, South Cotabato. #covid #covid19 @dzbb @DZAR1026 pic.twitter.com/k9JblHzIow
