Ship terminal turned Covid-19 treatment facility launched
The Eva Macapagal Super Terminal in Manila has been transformed into a COVID-19 treatment facility by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).
This new facility is equipped with 211 cubicles and will treat patients with mild, advanced, and severe cases of COVID-19.
The Department of Transportation led the development of this treatment center, aiming to increase the medical capacity in the National Capital Region.
Several organizations, including the Philippine Ports Authority, PCG, and private companies like the Lopez Group, 2Go, and Asian Terminals Inc., collaborated on this project.
In a separate development, two 2Go Group ships are docked at Pier 15 to serve as quarantine sites for returning overseas Filipino workers.
