Families of COVID-19 patients in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur were at a loss where to go as two of the province’s largest hospitals declared they had run out of beds and would not be accepting patients. | leahagonoyINQ

Earlier, the Provincial Inter-Agency Task Force decided to use a separate building as additional space for patients in the hospital but the new space got filled up immediately, according to Cagampang.

On Saturday, the task force also recorded 11 new COVID-19 deaths, almost doubling the usual four and five daily deaths it earlier posted. Ozamiz City’s Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro Sr. Medical Center, where COVID-19 patients in Zamboanga del Sur were likely to go, also announced it was already running at full capacity on Friday.ADVERTISEMENT

Of the new cases reported on Saturday, 498 or about half of the region’s total were in Davao City, which posted a total of active cases at 6,208. Davao del Sur posted 238 new cases, bringing to 3,006 its total number of active cases; and Davao del Norte, which posted 136 new cases for the day, registered 1,636 total active cases.
