“‘Pag tinignan natin ngayon kumpara sa dati, napaka-konti na…ang laki ng difference ng mga taong nagpa-patest compared to before sa ngayon. ‘Pag tinignan natin at nakita natin na kakauti lang ang nagpapatest tapos out of those na nagpa-patest, sila ‘yung nagpo-positive, maaring biased na tayo doon sa mga taong may talagang sintomas na kaya sila lang ang nagpapa-test,” she explained at a press conference.
“It would be unfair for our local governments and our other sectors kung magde-deklara tayo ngayon na magpapapanic tayo ng tao at sasabihing high risk tayo just based we have based our analysis on our positivity rate,” she added.according to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases on Sunday.
