Treñas attributed their situation to the areas outside that kept on sending their patients to their city. Many severe and critical COVID-19 patients from Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras and the provinces of Iloilo, he said, are being referred to them.

MANILA - Despite seeing a slight decrease in its COVID-19 cases, hospitals in Iloilo City are still running out of COVID-19 beds and medical personnel, its mayor said on Friday.

"Our cases have been going down in the past 10 days but if you look at the health care utilization rate, it will continue to go up for as long as the other provinces will be sending patients to hospitals here,” he added. “While the hospitals are full, both for isolation beds and ICU beds... the patients come from Iloilo Province and other provinces of Panay and Guimaras," according to the local chief executive.

The infected 30-year-old man, who is unvaccinated for COVID-19, was transferred to a quarantine facility. He supposedly has no travel history and no close contact in his workplace.
