The first week of February ends with a high note - the cases are noticeably going down. The 7-day average drops to 11,000 based on yesterday's data. With the cases today, we should be seeing four digit averages for the upcoming week.

The Health Agency reports 7689 new cases based on 40K plus tests with a positivity rate of 23.3% (still very high) last February 3. And with more than 22,500 recoveries, the active cases slip to 136,436 today.

Hospital utilization rate is also lower (considered low risk) both nationally and in Mega Manila.

There is one additional death today.
