July 31, 2020



The Philippine government raised bed capacity in government hospitals from 30 percent to 50 percent for COVID-19 patients.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, in a taped nationwide address Thursday night but which was shown on Friday, made this announcement as health officials earlier said that rooms for COVID-19 in hospitals are close to being overwhelmed. DMS
