MANILA, Philippines — Only severe and critical COVID-19 cases will be admitted in the six city hospitals in Manila, Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso — a presidential aspirant — announced Tuesday. 

 

Moreno said he issued the directive to hospital directors, the Manila Health Department, and the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council to optimize the city's utilization of hospital beds and other resources amid the surge of the Omicron variant and keep hospitals open for other patients experiencing other ailments.

 

Under the policy shift in the city, patients of COVID-19 who have mild symptoms but have underlying conditions and who are in need of proper hospital care would be admitted, the Manila chief said in a statement sent to reporters.
