欧美文化:Philippine capital region further eases restrictions amid dip of COVID-19 infections
MANILA, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- The alert level in the Philippine capital region will be eased further to 2 on a scale of 5 starting Friday as COVID-19 infections slows and vaccination rate increases, Philippine presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said on Thursday.
The downgrading of the alert level in Metro Manila will remain until Nov. 21, Roque said in a brief statement, adding that starting Dec. 1, the alert level assignments will be determined every 15th and 30th of each month.
"Escalations, on the other hand, may be done at any time in the middle of the implementation period as warranted, while de-escalations can only be done at the end of the two-week assessment period," he said.
On Thursday, the Philippines' Department of Health (DOH) reported 1,766 COVID-19 infections, pushing the number of confirmed cases in the Southeast Asian country to 2,795,642.
The DOH has reported less than 2,000 daily cases for two days since Wednesday when 1,591 cases were recorded, the lowest since Feb. 24.
