April 03, 2021 THE Department of Health (DOH) 7 noted a drop in Covid-19 critical care utilization rate (CCUR) in private hospitals in Cebu.
But the situation is still severe in Metro Manila.
Dr. Mary Jean Loreche, DOH 7 spokesperson, said the Cebu private CCUR is at 31.2 percent as of April 1, 2021; this is significantly within the 60 percent “safe level.”
“(Covid-19) cases are getting controlled,” she told SunStar Cebu in a text message on Saturday, April 3.
As of April 1, only 270 of the total allotted Covid beds in private hospitals in Cebu are occupied while a total of 595 beds remain available.
This is even better than the 35.8 percent CCUR recorded on March 26, before the Holy Week, when 310 beds were occupied and 555 beds were available.
