In a virtual Palace briefing, Dizon attributed the decline to the reimplementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) and modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
From a peak of 30 percent early April, Metro Manila’s positivity rate is now at 17 percent, according to the NTF official.
Meanwhile, the country’s positivity rate also declined, from 25.22 percent last April 2, it is now at 16.74 percent.
“Dahil po sa ginawa ng ating pamahalaan sa tulong ng ating LGUs [local government units], ng ating mga kababayan, napababa na po natin nang malaki, almost 10 percent ang positivity rate (Because of the government’s effort, with the help of our LGUs, our countrymen, we have reduced the positivity rate significantly, almost 10 percent),” Dizon said Thursday, April 29.
