Data lifted from ncovtracker.doh.gov.ph shows the COVID-19 bed capacity of Metro Manila hospitals, as of Nov. 4, 2020.

MANILA, Philippines — Ten out of 129 hospitals in Metro Manila are under the “critical zone” for COVID-19 facilities, records from the Department of Health (DOH) as of Nov. 4 showed.

This figure decreased from 13 hospitals recorded as “critical” last Oct. 28. However, that record consisted of 130 hospitals.

Of the 10 hospitals under the “critical” zone, five have a 100 percent utilization rate in their COVID-19 facilities: Allied Care Experts (Ace) Medical Center Valenzuela, Alabang Medical Clinic, Mary Chiles General Hospital Inc., Philippine Children’s Medical Center, and Victoriano Luna Medical Center.

The DOH previously revised its classification for occupancy of COVID-19 beds in health centers to critical, high risk, moderate, and safe.

“Critical” zone means that hospitals have already reached more than 85 percent of its bed occupancy rate for COVID-19 patients.

Meanwhile, hospitals having an occupancy rate of more than 70 percent but less than 85 percent are classified under the “high risk” zone.

Hospitals that are in the “moderate” level mean they have a 60 percent up to less than 70 percent bed occupancy percentage.

And those health facilities having a bed utilization rate of less than 60 percent are classified under the “safe” zone.

Health facilities were previously identified as either “danger,” “warning” and “safe”. Under the “danger” zone, this meant that hospitals have already reached more than 70 percent of its occupancy rate of beds for coronavirus patients.

Hospitals were identified under the “warning” level if their COVID-19 beds are 30 to 70 percent occupied. And under a “safe” level, the COVID-19 bed occupancy rate is equal or less than 30 percent.

The bed occupancy rate for the whole of Metro Manila remains at the “safe” zone with 38.9 percent, or 2,654 out of the 6,826 total beds being occupied.
