While the downward trend in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in NCR (National Capital Region) Plus area continues, independent research group OCTA noted that it has been slowing down over the past week.
Citing the data from the Department of Health, OCTA Research fellow Dr. Butch Ong said the reproduction number in Metro Manila has slightly increased to 0.69.
The current COVID-19 reproduction number is higher than the 0.5 during the previous week.
“In fact the last few days kung mapapansin natin bumabalik tayo sa 7,000 to 8,000 new cases per day (if we noticed, we are going back to 7,000 to 8,000 new cases per day),” Ong said during the Laging Handa public briefing on Monday, May 31.

“Yung reproduction number natin talaga ngayon, bagkus ay bumababa, mataas pa din ang mga hospital utilization (Our reproduction number right now, although it is decreasing, hospital utilization is still high,” Ong said.
Despite the improvement in the reproduction number, he noted that the average stay of a COVID-19 patient in the hospital is between two to three weeks.
He explained that if a COVID-19 patient was confined to a hospital on April 1, just a few days after the start of the ECQ in the National Capital Region (NCR)-plus, the patient is estimated to be discharged over 20 days later.
