While COVID-19 cases in the Philippines continue to decline, health authorities warned that infections may spike again if the public would disregard the minimum public health standards.
This, after the government eased restrictions in virus epicenter Metro Manila and other other regions.
"An uptrend of active cases was observed in scenarios where there is increased mobility from 82% to 91% and a corresponding decrease in the compliance to MPHS by 26%. In these scenarios, active cases may reach up to 25,305 to 29,811 by the end of November and 33,891 to 52,393 by mid-December," the DOH said in a statement on Saturday, November 6.
The DOH said that estimated active cases were four to five times higher by the end of November and 16 to 20 times higher by December 15 when compared to the scenarios where the compliance to MPHS was maintained. "Improvements in case trends should not result in complacency. We must continue to strengthen local response in all areas to hammer down daily cases," Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire told reporters on Monday.
