DAVAO CITY — The number of coronavirus disease cases in Davao City is still increasing with a daily positivity rate ranging from 6 to 11 percent, a City Health Official said on Thursday.Dr. Marjorie Culas, CHO officer-in-charge, said over Davao City Disaster Radio that the positivity rate remains above the acceptable 5-percent threshold of the World Health Organization.
The Inter-Agency Task Force placed Davao de Oro, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, and Davao Occidental— along with 22 other provinces in the country—under Alert Level 2 from April 15 to 30. “If we are below 5%, there is no need to worry about. But lately our cases are increasing while the positivity rate is more than the 5% threshold by WHO already,” Culas said.
According to the DOH, there are a total of 7,643,522 individuals in the region vaccinated against the infection, of whom 3,474,230 are fully vaccinated.
