The Manuel L. Quezon University in Quiapo, Manila was successfully converted into a 60-bed quarantine facility in the span of two weeks, Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar said.
“With the online learning system in place this school year, available school buildings are being tapped as converting existing buildings is one of the fastest options to add more COVID-19 facilities,” Villar said. Villar furthered that the department is “continuously building and converting structures to ensure demands are met for healthcare facilities to contain areas with COVID-19 spikes.”
The department aims to bring to 20,000 the quarantine facilities completed for coronavirus disease cases in the country this year.
