Thirty-two areas in the country were placed under Covid-19 Alert Level 2 from Nov. 1 to Nov. 15, the Department of Health (DOH) said.

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. approved the latest Covid-19 Alert Level System (ALS) classifications for provinces, highly urbanized cities, and independent component cities, the DOH said in a statement on Monday, Oct. 31. 

“Thirty-two provinces, highly urbanized cities, and independent component cities are under Alert Level 2,” the DOH said.

On the other hand, 89 out of 121 provinces, highly urbanized cities, and independent component cities were placed under Alert Level 1, the DOH said.

The DOH has observed a decline in the country’s case trend and hospital admissions.

“This means that our key indicators, such as the healthcare utilization rate (HCUR), are showing improvements. We attribute this development to every Filipino who continues to cooperate with our Covid-19 response,” said DOH Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire. 

“But while we see a continuous decline in case and admission trends, we must remember that deescalation does not mean that the battle with Covid-19 is already over. These current numbers are not permanent; we must all work together to maintain these low numbers,” she added.
