MANILA, Philippines — The entire Philippines is now at minimal risk as COVID-19 case rates continue to drop because of vaccination and natural immunity, the health department said.

 

During a meeting of the government's pandemic task force last Monday, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said the country improved in all COVID-19 metrics, with the national daily average cases dropping by 31 percent from 1,306 from Feb. 22 to 28 to 899 from March 1 to 7.

 

The Philippines' average daily attack rate (ADAR) from February 22 to March 7 was at 1.00, down from 2.45 three to four weeks ago. ADAR refers to the number of new COVID-19 infections per 100,000 population.
