Explaining the process of CQ classification, Wong said the government would be looking at “gate-keeping criteria” or the public health capacity of a community first, which includes its testing, contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine capacities.

MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Philippine government has identified two new indicators for its community quarantine classification, an epidemiologist with the Inter-Agency Task Force\u2019s (IATF) sub-technical working group on data analytics said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Dr. John Wong said the government would be using the Average Daily Attack Rate (ADAR) and the two-week growth rate (2WGR) to identify which level of community quarantine an area may be classified.<\/p>\n

The ADAR is the number of cases over a two-week period divided by the population of the local government unit (LGU). The higher the ADAR, the higher risk of infection.<\/p>\n

The 2WGR, meanwhile, measures the growth of the epidemic in an area or how quickly the number of cases is changing over a period of time.<\/p>\n

The second indicator compares the cases in the past two weeks from the number of cases three to four weeks ago.<\/p>\n

If the growth rate is positive, Wong said this would mean that the epidemic is growing. A negative computation, on the other hand, reflects the shrinkage of the epidemic.<\/p>\n

Explaining the process of CQ classification, Wong said the government would be looking at “gate-keeping criteria” or the public health capacity of a community first, which includes its testing, contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine capacities.<\/p>\n

And once LGUs establish or prove their capacity is sufficient, their ADAR and 2WGR would be measured next.<\/p>\n

“Once they meet again the cut-offs of these criteria then we allow them through the gate to a lower level of community quarantine,” he said in a virtual presser in Malacanang.<\/p>\n

“The goal of every LGU is to try to lower their community quarantine status and reach the new normal. (The) de-escalation depends on several criteria, so we call this the gatekeeping criteria,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
