According to a report on "24 Oras" on Sunday, Abalos said the growth and
reproduction rates of COVID-19 cases in Metro Manila are already decreasing.
"As far as numbers of growth rate is going down, reproduction rate, it is very very
encouraging. Even vaccination itself, we reached levels na talagang mataas na (high
inoculation level) sa Metro Manila," he said.
Earlier, the OCTA Research team said the reproduction number in Metro
Manila decreased to 0.94 from 0.97 on September 24.
Seven-day average daily cases in Metro Manila was at 4,220 with a one-week growth
rate of -20%.
"In fairness, cases are continuing to decrease now, even though we have moved to a
different restriction system or guidelines. A possible explanation is we have
vaccinated a significant portion of the population... and maybe it's because people are
more careful now," Professor Guido David said.
Metro Manila is currently classified under alert level 4 until September 30.
