Senators have urged the Department of Health (DOH) to clarify its data on the occupancy of hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a series of tweets on Thursday, Sen. Joel Villanueva flagged as “misleading” the DOH’s data on the bed capacity of health facilities nationwide amid the health emergency.

The senator also noted that the DOH graph does not specify the location of the hospitals with available bed capacity. “What is the real state of occupancy of hospitals in the NCR? What is the recommended response of IATF on this?” he asked. Gatchalian had earlier said that the DOH “needs to review and validate their numbers because their data shows otherwise.”

Joke lang po ni Tatay Digong yun, ang mga tiga Luzon hindi talaga nila maiintindihan ang mga jokes ng mga from Visayas and Mindanao. 🤣 naalala ko bigla ang sabi ni Trump na pwedeng inumin ang Lysol at halos himatayin ang health officer na nasa harap nya. maybe, like the Lysol company, the gasoline companies should issue a disclaimer/ correction of these $% remarks 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
