WHEREAS, Section 2 (c) of Executive Order No. 168 (s. 2014) mandates the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) to prevent and/or minimize the local spread of emerging infectious diseases (EID) in the country through the establishment or reinforcement of a system in screening possible patients infected with EID, contact tracing, identification of the mode of exposure to the virus, and implementation of effective quarantine and proper isolation procedures;

WHEREAS, on September 10, 2021, the President issued Proclamation No. 1218 (s. 2021) further extending the period of the State of Calamity throughout the Philippines until September 12, 2022, unless earlier lifted or extended as circumstances may warrant;

WHEREAS, the IATF approved the shift in the policy of classifying Provinces, Highly Urbanized Cities (HUCs), and Independent Component Cities (ICCs) for purposes of community quarantine and adopted the Alert Level System for identified pilot areas of implementation and piloted the implementation thereof in the National Capital Region (NCR) on 08 September 2021, and has since expanded to other regions;

WHEREAS, the President issued Executive Order No. 151 (s. 2021) on 11 November 2021, approving the nationwide implementation of the Alert Level System for COVID-19 Response;

WHEREAS, the IATF, through IATF Resolution No. 165 dated 24 March 2022, has adopted the policy of including component cities and municipalities in the Alert Level System for purposes of alert level classification.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, as it is hereby resolved, that the IATF approves the recommendations of the Sub-Technical Working Group for Data Analytics on the new matrices to be used for the Alert Level System, and on the alert level classification of provinces, highly urbanized cities (HUCs), independent component cities (ICCs), component cities, and municipalities effective 01 July 2022 until 15 July 2022:

A. Effective 01 July 2022, the matrix used as basis for the Alert Level System shall be modified as follows:

1. Removal of two-week growth rate in determining case risk classification. Case risk classification shall be based on average daily attack rates and its current thresholds.

2. Total beds utilization rate and its current thresholds are retained as the main metric for health system capacity.

3. Assignment of Alert Level shall be based on the revised cross tabulation of total beds utilization rate and average daily attack rate.

B. The following provinces, HUCs, and ICCs shall be placed under Alert Level 1 effective 01 July 2022 until 15 July 2022:
