Metro Manila Covid-19 positivity rate increasing, may reach 20% — OCTA

BY ELLALYN DE VERA-RUIZ



The Covid-19 positivity rate in Metro Manila is still rising, according to the most recent monitoring of the OCTA Research.

OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David reported on Thursday, April 27, that Metro Manila's seven-day positivity rate increased from 8.4 percent on April 19 to 13.4 percent on April 26.

Moreover, he does not completely rule out the possibility that Metro Manila's Covid-19 positivity rate will continue to rise in the days to come.

“This is expected to increase further, perhaps up to 20 percent,” David said.

The OCTA fellow previously stated that the Covid-19 Omicron subvariant XBB.1.16 spreading in the country may be the cause of the increasing Covid-19 cases.

Positivity rate refers to the number of individuals who yielded positive results from among those who have been tested for Covid-19.

The benchmark for the positivity rate set by the World Health Organization is 5 percent.

On Thursday, the Department of Health announced 781 new Covid-19 cases across the country.

David projected that the country may record 900 to 1,100 new Covid-19 cases on Friday, April 28.
