In an advisory, the hospital said its patients have outnumbered its beds, while its emergency room and holding tents are already full as well.
The hospital’s management said the facility needs to be able to discharge patients first before it can admit new ones.

Based on latest data, Manila has 1,247 active COVID-19 cases.
