The Adar is the number of new infections per 100,000 people.
Meanwhile, Aurora and Quezon’s reproduction numbers are 0.24 and 0.18, within health experts’ ideal figure of less than one, an indication of slower virus transmission.
Meanwhile, Aurora’s healthcare and intensive care unit (ICU) utilization rate are both at zero percent.
Quezon, on the other hand, has an 11-percent and 15-percent healthcare and ICU utilization rate. Its positivity rate is 3 percent which is within the World Health Organization’s recommendation of 5 percent or lower.
Further, the National Capital Region remains at low risk with a 4 percent positivity rate.
