Positive Covid-19 sentiment on trains has dropped to 1%, according to DOTr.

In the National Capital Region (NCR), fewer train passengers tested positive for Covid-19 after random antigen testing on three rail lines on Wednesday.

Only two people tested positive in 183 random and voluntary antigen tests on passengers of the Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2), the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3), and the Philippine National Railways (PNR) on Wednesday, according to a Facebook post from the Department of Transportation (DOTr).

There were 54 antigen tests at the LRT-2, two of which were positive, 96 tests at the MRT-3, and 33 tests at the PNR, all of which detected no illnesses.

In comparison, 215 tests were conducted on Monday in the three train services, with a positivity rate of 2.27 percent, and 258 tests were conducted on Jan. 20, 2022, with a positivity rate of 1.55 percent.

“Passengers who have tested positive will not be allowed to board the trains.” They will be asked to return home, isolate themselves, and report to their local Barangay Health Emergency Response Team (BHERT) for support and monitoring. “They should also have confirmatory RT-PCR testing,” the DOTr added.

Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade ordered the free random and voluntary testing in the three rail services to help control the spread of Covid-19 in NCR trains, which began on Jan. 11, 2022.
