Cebu City seeing another surge in COVID-19 cases as some nurses resign

Paramedics told the Inquirer that the number of calls for COVID-19-related cases had increased since last week.

Although they would not turn down pleas for help, especially those with severe COVID-19 symptoms, he said they would usually ask relatives to ensure they had made arrangements with the hospitals before the transport. The long lines of patients waiting for confinement at government and private hospitals in Cebu were seen as a result of the lack of nurses and the need for medical facilities to expand their bed capacities for COVID-19 patients.

Joseph Stephen Descallar, president of the Philippine Nurses Association -Cebu Chapter, a group of around 3,000 members, said he has yet to gather information about the CCMC nurses who resigned.
