The Covid-19 positivity rates in the National Capital Region (NCR) and eight other areas have exceeded the threshold set by the World Health Organization, OCTA Research said on Monday.

OCTA Research fellow Guido David said that the positivity rate in NCR increased to 5.9 percent on June 25 from 3.9 percent on June 18. The WHO recommends that the proportion of Covid-19 tests coming back positive should be below 5 percent to ensure that the spread of the coronavirus is under control.
