Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 21) The city government of Manila on Tuesday broke ground to start the construction of a 336-bed capacity COVID-19 field hospital at Luneta Park.
During the ceremony, Manila Mayor Francisco Isko Moreno Domagoso said this is a way to lessen incidents of deaths of coronavirus patients even before being admitted by hospitals that are fully occupied.
The ₱154-million facility will accommodate mild and moderate patients and is expected to be completed within two months, Moreno said in a statement. Its total capacity may still be expanded by 100 beds when needed, with some 150 medical frontliners monitoring patients in the field hospital, he added.
