MANILA, Nov 21 (Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN): Active Covid-19 cases in the country could go down to as low as 6,071 by Dec 15 if the current mobility, compliance with minimum public health standards and detection to isolation period of 5.5 days are maintained, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire (pic) has announced.
But if mobility increases to 98 percent of prepandemic level, from 82 per cent as of the first week of November, and compliance with health standards goes down by up to 24 percent, active cases may hit about 20,600 by mid-December, Vergeire said, citing Department of Health (DOH) projections.
