At the time of this report, the government’s national pandemic task force loosened some

restrictions in the Philippine capital, putting it under Alert Level 3 October 16 to 31 to Alert Level 4.

The Octa Research Group has been accused at congressional hearings of what lawmakers described as being “alarmist” in predicting outbreaks because back in the day government data analysts have been more conservative with their research conclusions.

The Department of Health (DOH) have confirmed that the volume of COVID-19 cases has surely decreased and this was backed up by the decrease of hospital admissions. However, three regions are still at ‘high-risk’.
