The recommendation was adopted by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases and included in its Resolution 130-A, which was approved by President Rodrigo Duterte. “There are granular lockdowns that are going to happen where they implement MECQ in identified places,” Vergeire said.
As of August 1, the tracker showed that there were still 35 ICU beds available in 15 hospitals in Cebu City. Out of 114 ICU beds, 79 or 69.3 percent were occupied.
