Figure 3. Reproduction number Rt in the Philippines, based on the number of Covid-19 cases according to case reports, incidence reports and test reports, shown as a 7-day moving average. The reproduction number is best estimated using the incidence reports, but test reports will produce good estimates. A value Rt< 1 indicates the curve is flattening. The trend in Rt is increasing, coincidingwith an increase in community transmissions in NCR.
