According to World Health Organization (WHO) country, representative Dr. Rabindra Abeyasinghe, the current alert level imposed by the government in the National Capital Region (NCR) may be adequate, as the country’s healthcare system would be able to manage the surge in coronavirus infections until January 27 or 28.

Because of the increase in cases, particularly in the NCR, the government is anticipated to make a decision within the next week on whether to keep the existing Alert Level 3 or raise it to Alert Level 4 from January 16 to 31.

Abeyasinghe noted in a Laging Handa briefing that overburdened healthcare systems are one of the criteria examined by authorities when imposing tough limitations across the country.

“At the moment, we don’t see that.” According to projections, the Philippines may be able to avoid this if present trends continue through the end of the month,” he said. “According to our red line analysis, we should be able to handle the health systems until the 27th [or] 28th of January.”

Authorities have witnessed a considerable drop in people’s mobility under the current alert level, as well as a large increase in the number of new cases on Tuesday, which could both be indicators that the current alert levels will suffice.

The Department of Health reported 28,007 new coronavirus infections on Tuesday, down from 33,169 on Monday, the largest single-day number of new infections since the pandemic began in March 2020.

New infections, on the other hand, increased to 32,246 on Wednesday.

The National Capital Region (NCR) had 17,902 new infections in the last two weeks, accounting for 56 percent of all new infections; Calabarzon had 6,838 new infections, accounting for 22 percent; and Central Luzon had 3,268 new infections, accounting for 10 percent.

Maintaining the economy’s openness and choosing the best method to deal with the increase in cases, according to Abeyasinghe, are critical.

“So, we’re very careful in saying we need to limit movements more; what’s crucial is that everyone follows the basic public health requirements at an individual level, isolating or quarantining oneself if they have symptoms or exposure,” he said.
