NCR virus reproduction number now 1.42, growth rate at 19% –OCTA

The reproduction rate of the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 in the National Capital Region inched up to 1.42, with a growth rate in cases of 19%, the OCTA Research group said on Saturday.

OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David divulged the figures on Twitter, adding that the daily average of COVID-19 cases in NCR is 5,958.

The reproduction rate, which indicates the number of infections generated from one individual, was at 1.41 last week in NCR.

Guido posted a table on Twitter showing the local government units with the highest number of COVID-19 cases on Sept. 11.

The first eight LGUs on the list are in NCR.

 

 

He also posted a table of provinces and regions showing them in order based on the highest number of new COVID-19 cases on Sept. 11.

 

 

NCR topped the list with 9,061 new COVID-19 cases.

“This is very serious. 9061 is a record for the NCR,” David said.

David also showed the average daily attack rate (ADAR) for some Asian countries as of Sept. 10 based on data from Johns Hopkins University.

The Philippines is shown in orange on that list, meaning it is at high risk with 19,986 new cases.

 

 

The Department of Health on Saturday reported 26,303 new COVID-19 cases, the highest recorded since the start of the pandemic.

According to the DOH, this brought the nationwide tally to 2,206,021 and active cases to 185,706. —KG, GMA News
