(CNN Philippines) Metro Manila — The Department of Health on Wednesday reported that the entire country is now at low to moderate risk for COVID-19, except for Soccsksargen, which remains at high risk.

This was after the region registered a 56% two-week growth rate in cases, the DOH said.

Last week, the department de-escalated the Philippines to the moderate risk classification following the drop in new infections.

As of Wednesday, 16 out of the 17 regions nationwide are also at either low to moderate risk after recording negative growth rates in the past 14 days.

“All regions reported fewer cases on Jan. 27 to Feb. 9 than on Jan. 13 to 26, except for Region 12 (Soccsksargen),” the DOH said.

The department added that the total bed and intensive care unit utilization rates in all regions, including Soccsksargen, are currently at low to moderate risk.

Based on the government’s last update, the number of active cases in the country – or people currently sick with COVID-19 – dipped to 96,326. It’s the first time in a little over a month that active infections were less than 100,000. New cases were at 3,651.
