More symptomatic patients among new COVID cases

Dr. Jaime Bernadas, Department of Health in Central Visayas regional director, said this development was what the health care system would need to address as the increase in symptomatic patients would correspond to the increase of admissions in hospitals.

Bernadas explained that when the preparation of the medical facilities for COVID-19 started, each hospital declared a specific number of dedicated rooms and intensive care units for COVID-19 patients. With the increase in the number of patients that might need to be placed under hospital care, Bernadas said the medical facilities would responding accordingly by re-increasing the number of their rooms dedicated to COVID-19 cases.Despite recording over 100 daily cases of COVID-19 in Cebu in the past five days, Bernadas maintained that there was no “spike” in the rate of the infection.

“The backlogs had been accumulated during the past two weeks. The past two weeks are reflective of those specimen submitted earlier… Meaning, these are all cases during the time [when] we were still on ECQ,” Bernadas said.For Cebu City alone, the number of new cases reported daily in the past five days range from 101 to 127.
