MANILA, Philippines — The government's hospital referral center for coronavirus patients on Friday said it saw an exponential rise in calls per day among those seeking assistance for the entire August. 

 

Numbers presented by Dr. Marylaine Padlan of the One Hospital Command Center reflected the new uptick in infections last month, where authorities reported more than 400,000 cases. 

 

Over a government briefing, she said calls were up by 200%. That meant the center averaged 400 to 500 per day, compared to the 100 to 200 in July.
