MANILA, Philippines — Thirteen out of 148 hospitals in Metro Manila were placed under critical status in terms of bed capacity solely for COVID-19 patients, based on data from the Department of Health (DOH) as of March 10. 

This figure more than tripled from four hospitals classified critical last March 5, consisting of 149 hospitals. 

Of the hospitals under critical status, two have already reached 100 percent bed occupancy, namely:

• F.Y. Manalo Medical Foundation Inc.
• Novaliches District Hospital

The DOH classifies occupancy levels for COVID-19 beds in health centers as either critical, high risk, moderate, and safe.

Under the critical level, hospitals have already reached more than 85 percent of its bed occupancy for COVID-19 patients.

Hospitals are classified as high risk if 70 percent but not more than 85 percent of its COVID-19 beds are occupied while those with a COVID-19 bed capacity of from 60 to 70 percent rate are classified as moderate.

Hospitals fall under the safe level if bed utilization rate is less than 60 percent.

The bed occupancy rate for the whole of Metro Manila remains at the safe zone with 49.2 percent, or 3,576 out of the 7,266 total beds occupied.
