CEBU CITY, Philippines -- The Cebu City Quarantine Center now hosts patients of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) after being unused for at least a month since its completion in April
CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City Quarantine Center now hosts patients of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 after being unused for at least a month since its completion in April 2020.
However, they were relocated for a while because rains have destroyed a portion of the roof of the P100 million worth quarantine center on June 6, 2020. Pardo Barangay Captain Manolita “Litang” Abarquez, who died in a hospital in Lapu-Lapu City due to severe pneumonia, was refused admission in the hospitals in the city due to alleged “full capacity.”Labella said this is why the city has three quarantine centers, the Bayanihan Centers at the old Sacred Heart School and IEC Pavilion, and the Cebu City Quarantine Center to address the alleged congestion of city hospitals.
He said the city aims to decongest the hospitals and only let the medical facilities focus on severe cases of the COVID-19 and of other illness, such that of Abarquez.
