The IEC Convention Center Cebu (IC3) will no longer be an isolation center despite earlier plans to transform it into an isolation facility.

The facility should have had 300 beds and would cater to Cebuanos in need of isolation regardless of residency.

The chief pathologist said even if the symptoms of the Omicron variant are mild compared to other variants, this is still detrimental to the population because of how fast it spreads. She assured the public that DOH-7 is looking for an alternative place for a TTMF. They are currently scrambling for venues even as Presidential Assistant to the Visayas, Secretary Michael Lloyd Dino, is also helping establish another TTMF for Cebu.The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu said that the reason why the IC3 could no longer function as an isolation center is the fact that the negotiation between them and the Bayanihan Cebu Inc. failed.

Tan also said that Archbishop Jose Palma had talked with Fr. Nicanor Austriaco of Octa Research and he was advised that the Omicron variant will spell the end of the pandemic, thus, the one year use of the IC3 Pavillion.
