Nationwide implementation of the alert level system will depend on how successful a pilot test will be in the National Capital Region (NCR or Metro Manila), according to the Department of Health (DoH).

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the pilot test of the new alert level system in Metro Manila will allow the DoH and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) to see how it will be effective and how it can be applied to the rest of the country.
