“I share with the thoughts of Sec. Cimatu. Of course our private hospitals are experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, but at this point, it’s not overwhelmed,” Labella said over ABS-CBN News Channel.“We agree that we are experiencing the surge, but I would say that it’s not actually overwhelmed at this point,” he also said.
However, Labella said augmentation from the national government for medical workers “would be very much welcome” and that it would be “better” if more health personnel will be deployed to the city.
