MANILA, Philippines — All local government units (LGUs) in the National Capital Region (NCR) are now classified as low risk for COVID-19, independent team OCTA Research reported Monday.
Of the 17 LGUs, OCTA noted that Navotas City is classified very low risk for the coronavirus.
“NCR and all its 17 LGUs are now classified as low risk, using metrics based on covidactnow.org. Navotas in particular is classified as very low risk, given that all its indicators (including ADAR) are low,” OCTA Research fellow Guido David said in a Twitter post.
NCR Update Nov 1 2021. NCR and all 17 LGUs are at low risk. Navotas is at very low risk. Reproduction number is below 0.9 in all LGUs which means all LGUs are still on a downward trend. @dzbb @dzrhnews @DZAR1026 @cnnphilippines @News5PH @allangatus @NewsRmn @dwiz882 @dzme_1530khz pic.twitter.com/Ao8YgJFNUX

The capital region’s positivity rate dropped to five percent from six percent, the report showed.
As of October 30, the healthcare utilization and intensive care unit occupancy stood at 30 percent and 39 percent, respectively.

OCTA obtained the figures from DOH’s DataDrop and used metrics based on covidactnow.org.
