MANILA, Philippines — Metro Manila saw an increase in COVID-19 cases in the previous week, but the capital region remained at low risk for virus spread, OCTA Research said Tuesday.

 

According to OCTA Research fellow Guido David, the daily average of new cases rose by 10% to 86 (May 31 to June 6) from 78 (May 24 to 30).

 

Metro Manila’s reproduction number—or the number of people an individual positive for COVID-19 can infect—rose to 1.24 from 1.08. Ideally, the reproduction number should be less than 1.
