IATF is still reviewing the alert level system: DOH

The Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) is still reviewing the alert level system (ALS), according to information released by the Department of Health on Wednesday.

The DOH stated in a public advisory that it has previously suggested that future alert levels be compared to typhoon warnings and a guiding mechanism.

This comes after a post on fictitious ALS limits in Metro Manila started to go viral online. According to IATF Resolution No. 6-C series 2023, Metro Manila has been placed on alert level 1 until April 30, 2023, and everyone in the city is required to wear a face mask at all times.

According to the DOH, Metro Manila is currently at Alert Level 1, which implies that restrictions are still in place.

Prior to this, DOH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire stated that despite the observed increase in Covid-19 cases, they are not considering making face mask use voluntary.

She stated that the general public should evaluate their needs and be aware of when to wear face masks, particularly if they fall under the A1 (senior citizens) or A3 (those with comorbidities) groups.

“The ALS continues to provide guidance for every Filipino through the IATF recommendations sent to the Office of the President, this is so that each may equip themselves with better layers of protection against Covid-19,” the DOH stated.

Additionally, it said that local government entities had the authority to pass municipal ordinances that would impose particular health standards on their constituents.
