Baguio clears coronavirus testing backlog in less than a week
Baguio City's coronavirus testing backlog has been cleared in less than a week.
Dr. Ricardo Ruñez, medical chief at Baguio General Hospital Medical Center, reported to the city's Inter-Agency Task Force that they have processed 2,600 RT-PCR tests covering Baguio and Regions 1 and 2.
The backlog was caused by staff needing time to study new test kits and rest. Once resolved, BGHMC increased testing capacity to 600-700 tests per day.
