“For ICU beds…almost 100% in most cities. So we need to bring that down so that we will be able to say that our healthcare system can manage,” she said.

“What would be most important really would be for us to look at the healthcare utilization,” she added. Initially, the government imposed the enhanced community quarantine , the government’s most stringent quarantine classification, on the “NCR Plus” bubble that encompassed Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal. The ECQ was scheduled to expire on April 4, but was extended for an additional week.
