Ospital ng Tondo will temporarily suspend new admissions for 10 days starting August 14, 2020, due to 32 staff members testing positive for COVID-19.
The hospital aims to resume operations on August 28, allowing affected healthcare workers time to rest and recover.
Existing patients and emergency cases will continue to receive care at the hospital.
New non-emergency patients will be redirected to other public hospitals in Manila, including Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Medical Center, Justice Jose Abad Santos General Hospital, Ospital ng Sampaloc, Ospital ng Maynila, and Sta. Ana Hospital.
This is the second temporary closure for Ospital ng Tondo, with a previous one occurring from May 11 to May 24, and follows a similar shutdown at Ospital ng Maynila.
