Rising hospital admissions in Negros Occidental and Bacolod City are exposing staff to infection, forcing some units to scale back operations.
Two major government hospitals in the cities of Bacolod and Silay, Negros Occidental have scaled back admissions as medical staff get infected by COVID-19 or go on quarantine for high-risk exposure.
Amid the current surge in cases, the management of the Bacolod-Silay airport also started implementing on January 18 the Civil Aeronautics Board policy that bans unvaccinated persons from boarding planes. The Teresita L. Jalandoni Provincial Hospital in Silay City on Sunday, January 16, also temporarily suspended out-patient services in its Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and limited admissions to only emergency cases.
The city’s daily tracker, which includes figures on recovery, last showed 16 recoveries on January 7. There has only been one death due to COVID-19 over the last 10 days. The CLMMRH daily COVID-19 analysis on January 18 showed the city ADAR rising to 7.22 on January 17 from 6.66 the day before. The province’s ADAR also increased to 2.24 from 2.20.
