‘Cebu COVID Woes Also Possible In MM'

Professor Ranjit Singh Rye, who is part of the team that correctly projected the total number of cases in the country by June 15, said people are becoming less disciplined in practicing safety measures against the virus.

“The curve was flattening, but we are not seeing the other side of the curve. Can Cebu happen in Manila? Of course, which is why we also recommended to put all options on the table,” Rye told “The Chiefs” on One News / TV5 on Tuesday night.

“If it happened in Cebu, it could also happen in Metro Manila. It could be worse here,” he added, noting the dense population of the National Capital Region (NCR).

In May, the UP team – led by Rye, mathematics professor Guido David and researcher Ma. Patricia Agbulos – projected the number of COVID-19 cases in the country to reach 24,000 by June 15.

The projected figure was reached on June 11, with the cases further rising to 27,238 as of yesterday.
