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.
