Pampanga designates Macapagal Hospital for COVID-19 PUIs
Pampanga Governor Dennis Pineda designated Diosdado P. Macapagal Memorial Hospital (DPMMH) in Guagua as a facility for persons under investigation (PUIs) for COVID-19.
Governor Pineda ordered that buildings B and C of DPMMH be used exclusively for PUIs to prevent the spread of the virus, while advising other patients to go to their nearest district hospitals.
Dr. Jay Rivera, provincial medical consultant, emphasized the need for a dedicated facility for PUIs.
The DPMMH will also help alleviate the burden on Jose B. Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital in San Fernando City, which is handling COVID-19 cases in Central Luzon.
Patients with mild symptoms will be home quarantined due to hospital capacity constraints.
