Cities & Provinces under Alert Level 3 from January 15 to January 31
ALERT LEVEL 3 – The authorities released the curbs set in Metro Manila and several other cities and provinces until January 31.
The COVID-19 cases in the Philippines have another surge following the holiday season. The authorities somehow anticipated the increase in the cases due to the holiday activities of the people. Many people went out and gathered in shopping malls and other public establishments for the holiday preparations.
During the holiday season, Metro Manila was under Alert Level 2. The children were also finally allowed to enter shopping malls after more than a year of limiting them indoors.
Upon noticing an increase in the COVID-19 cases, the authorities placed the entire Metro Manila under Alert Level 3 which was set from January 3 to January 15. Malacañang and the Department of Health (DOH) previously said that the shifting of the measure to Alert Level 4 is possible if the growth of the cases will continue.
