THE phase transition indicators for the National Recovery Plan (NRP) is now daily hospital admissions for the total number of patient cases in category three and above, nationwide threshold value of symptomatic daily cases and utilisation capacity of intensive care units (ICU).
The reason for this is likely due to the fact that current data (against current variants) indicate significant impact of vaccination in reducing severe cases, hospitalisations, and death. However, effectiveness against infections – particularly the Delta variant – is lower. In other words, the landscape has shifted and the number of cases have become relatively less important.
