MANILA, Philippines — The government’s hospital referral system for COVID-19 cases has been receiving fewer calls lately, an official said on Friday.

 

The One Hospital Command Center received 200 to 300 calls per day in the past week, lower than the 300 to 400 daily calls earlier in September, said medical officer Dr. Marylaine Padlan.

 

Majority of the calls were from Metro Manila and Calabarzon. Most of the callers’ requests were for hospital admission.
