Kasi magbabawas tayo ng mga nurses doon at ilalagay natin sa mga COVID area,” she explained. “So, marami na naman talagang pasyenteng pwede lang naman ang telemedicine lalo na kung irereview lang naman ang mga laboratory nila. Pero kung kunyari eh urgent at emergency, pwede naman silang pumunta sa emergency room.”The doctor noted that the number of COVID patients in their hospital has been increasing daily since the New Year.Most of the patients are showing moderate symptoms, she said.Liquete said 34 of their healthcare workers have also been affected by COVID-19.
