Hospitals capable of handling COVID-19 cases have been overwhelmed and “full to the brim” in the past weeks as reported by Dr. Peter Mancao, the deputy task force leader in the Cebu City North District. On July 14, 2021, the patient’s oxygen saturation dropped to 40 percent and she was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was not admitted because the hospital was full.

Tumulak met with the barangays on Friday, July 29, 2021, and at least seven barangays already pledged to allow the use of their ambulances by the city for patients.
