Metro Manila Level 1

Metro Manila is under alert level 1

Metro Manila and 38 other areas will be under Alert Level 1 from March 1 to 15. Areas under this level have no restrictions in travel, and all establishments shall be permitted to operate at full capacity.

 

“Alert Level 1 refers to areas wherein case transmission is low and decreasing, total bed utilization rate, and intensive care unit utilization rate is low.”

 

Great news for the event industry as venues such as concert halls, theaters, meeting venues, hotels, and more can operate 100% capacity. The minimum public health standards will still be strictly enforced.

 

Nevertheless, we need to continue following the health and safety protocols and don’t let our guard down.
