MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases within the National Capital Region (NCR) is on a continuous decline, the chief implementer of the National Policy Against Covid-19 said on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Nakita po natin na talagang dito sa<\/em>\u00a0NCR\u00a0po ay talagang na<\/em>-stabilize\u00a0po natin<\/em>\u00a0(We have seen that NCR is stabilizing),” Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said during the Laging Handa virtual briefing. “Nakita po natin na<\/em>\u00a0since\u00a0noong<\/em>\u00a0August\u00a0na talagang nag<\/em>-peak\u00a0ang<\/em>\u00a0NCR\u00a0na<\/em>\u00a0more or less more than 20,000\u00a0ang kanilang<\/em>\u00a0active cases.\u00a0Sa ngayon po ay natutuwa po ako at iyong data po natin ay pababa nang pababa<\/em>\u00a0(We have seen that since August the cases peaked in NCR with more or less 20,000 active cases. So far, we are happy as the cases are declining),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He said there are only 4,106 active cases in the entire Metro Manila, while the cases in Central Luzon and Calabarzon are also decreasing.<\/p>\n

However, Galvez said Covid-19 cases in some Mindanao areas have been reportedly increasing.<\/p>\n

With the continuous Covid-19 cases in Metro Manila on a downtrend, Galvez urged the public not to be complacent especially in the coming holiday season.<\/p>\n

“We have to establish opening up the economy, but with much caution,” he said.<\/p>\n

Galvez also backed the recommendation of the Metro Manila mayors to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) to sustain the general community quarantine (GCQ) status within the NCR until December.<\/p>\n

“Binibigyan po natin ng tinatawag na<\/em>\u00a0leeway or flexibility or adaptability\u00a0ang ating mga mayors at ang ating<\/em>\u00a0business sector,\u00a0para ang mangyari po magtutulungan po sila,<\/em>\u00a0so, 100 percent\u00a0po ako na sumusuporta po ako doon<\/em> (We are giving the mayors and our business sector the leeway or flexibility or adaptability while we help them, so I’m hundred percent supporting it),” Galvez said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
