Based on the growth in cases, average daily attack rate (ADAR), health care utilization rate (HCUR) and vaccination status, Western Visayas is on Alert Level 1, according to DOH Senior Program Health Officer John Richard Lapascua in a virtual presser on Monday. "Currently, our IATF resolutions are for Alert Levels 1 to 4," he said. In another press conference on Monday, Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Trenas said he is preparing a letter to request for the new classification as their Level 1 status is until Tuesday only. The mayor persuaded the national IATF to placed Iloilo City under Alert Level 1 on March
