Covid patients treated in temporary facilities

As coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) wards in Metro Manila continue to fill up, the government had started moving mild and asymptomatic patients out of hospitals and into temporary treatment and monitoring facilities, the Department of Health (DoH) said.

Next month, patients with moderate and severe cases will be treated at a modular hospital being set up at the Quezon Institute. The facility, which can accommodate 110 patients, will be managed by the team of the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center, Health Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega said.
