MANILA, Philippines — The government's pandemic task force is expected to announce by February 14 the updated alert levels of areas as it continues to assess existing restrictions in light of the slowdown in the rate of COVID-19 infections.

 

Acting presidential spokesman Karlo Nograles said the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) is scheduled to meet today to make a preliminary assessment of the pandemic situation.

 

Officials would hold another meeting this weekend to examine the latest data from different regions and to decide on the alert levels that would take effect from February 16 to 28, he added.
