Medical City says it will ‘remain open to all patients’
The Medical City, through its president and chief executive officer Dr. Eugenio Jose Ramos, clarified that the hospital is open to all patients, including those with possible COVID-19 cases.
This clarification came after a leaked internal memorandum suggested a temporary halt in admitting suspected COVID-19 patients due to overwhelming cases.
The memorandum was issued by the head of the hospital's Epidemic Rapid Response Team to temporarily manage the influx of patients after their emergency department exceeded its daily capacity.
The hospital had handled 31 persons under investigation for COVID-19 on Tuesday night and currently has eight confirmed positive COVID-19 cases admitted.
In an official statement, Ramos called the leakage of the memo "a malicious virus that spreads faster than COVID-19."
