33 of 136 NCR hospitals in danger of running out of beds for COVID-19
This screenshot from ncovtracker.doh.gov.ph shows the Department of Health’s coronavirus tracker data as of Sept. 30, 2020, on the COVID-19 bed capacity in all Metro Manila hospitals.
MANILA, Philippines — Thirty-three out of 136 hospitals in the National Capital Region (NCR) were tagged as being in the “danger” level in terms of bed capacity solely for the treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients, figures from the Department of Health (DOH) showed.
This number is lower by one hospital compared to the data recorded last Sept. 23, Wednesday.
For the whole NCR, the total bed capacity was maintained at the “warning” level with 52.1 percent of the 6,626 COVID-19 beds now occupied.
Compared to the Sept. 23 data, total bed occupancy in the NCR was also at “warning level” with 54.4 percent of the 6,555 COVID-19 beds now utilized.
The health department said bed capacity data indicate a hospital’s readiness to respond to a surge of coronavirus disease infections in their respective areas.
A hospital is “safe” from COVID-19 surge if there is less than 30 percent utilization rate for its COVID-19 beds.
A hospital is at a “warning” level when there is a 30 percent to 70 percent utilization rate.
Meanwhile, hospitals with more than 70 percent bed occupancy are in “danger” of being full in case of a surge.
As of Oct. 1, a total of 314,079 infections of the respiratory disease were reported. This includes 254,223 recoveries and 5,562 fatalities.
Because of this, the Philippines now ranks as the 20th country with the most number of COVID-19 cases in the world, based on the virus tracker of the John Hopkins University in the United States.
INQUIRER.net collected the latest data available on the DOH’s COVID-19 tracker for bed capacity which is dated Sept. 30. Only hospitals in Metro Manila which have beds allocated only for coronavirus disease patients were included in this story.
Only data for occupancy of COVID-19 dedicated beds but not the total beds inside hospitals were also cited in this story.
