Ospital ng Maynila to be temporarily closed starting July 31
Manila Mayor Isko Moreno ordered the temporary closure of Ospital ng Maynila from July 31 to August 9 due to a COVID-19 outbreak among its medical frontliners.
At least 15 frontliners have confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 32 awaiting test results and 58 having been in contact with confirmed cases.
The mayor mentioned that there are also some reinfections and many asymptomatic cases among the staff, with numerous doctors, nurses, and medical workers awaiting their PCR swab test results.
Domagoso stated that the high number of infected health workers may be due to the hospital accepting all COVID-19 patients, regardless of residency.
Despite the closure, the hospital will continue to accept patients in life-and-death emergency situations, such as childbirth and accidents.
Services such as dialysis, telemedicine, test swabbing, serology, and radiology will remain operational during the closure period.
