Hospitals in Cebu City are allotting more beds for patients with COVID-19 as admissions continue to rise.

"We see that there is really an increase in number of admissions but our hospitals are responding really by dedicating more of these rooms for our COVID patients," Jaime Bernadas, regional director of the Department of Health in Central Visayas, said in an online media briefing on Thursday.

There have been complaints on social media that patients infected with the coronavirus disease and suspected cases were being turned down at some private hospitals in Cebu City. "No matter how many great health professionals we have, it is clear and apparent that this pandemic has reached such great heights that accommodation has become a scarcity," Apple Abarquez, the village chief's daughter said in a Facebook post.

The entire island of Cebu has a total of 4,228 COVID-19 cases. Of this number, majority or 3,439 are recorded in Cebu City, while 324 are in the rest of the province.READ: PH's COVID-19 cases exceed 24,000
