MANILA - "moderate risk," the country's COVID-19 treatment czar said Wednesday after several hospitals have declared full capacity.
"We made the necessary steps for this because we knew very well the number of intensive care units has to be improved in terms of capacity. If we do not manage them well, it will increase our case fatality rate," he told ANC's Headstart. "We asked the private hospitals also to come up with their own innovative ways of transforming some of their wards or private rooms to be capable of handling severe and critical cases."
The capital region is under enhanced community quarantine from August 6 to 20 to arrest the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant.
