MANILA, Philippines — Metro Manila will remain under Alert Level 3 starting Nov. 1 until Nov. 14, Malacañang announced Friday.

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque explained that the national pandemic task force decided to extend the alert level over the national capital region to avoid a sudden spike of COVID-19 cases.

This will also give the government more time to monitor further the movement of COVID-19 cases with more relaxed restrictions.

“Inuunti-unti natin iyong pagbaba ng alert level system nang sa ganoon ay hindi naman biglang sumipa muli ang numero ng mga kaso ng COVID,” Roque said in a Palace briefing.
