"Our bed capacity is only 250 so we're way past that," Del Rosario said in Filipino. Del Rosario said they have since increased the number of allocated beds to 300. Still, health officials have refused to call it a surge, despite several private facilities last week also reporting they have met full capacity for COVID-19 patients. "It appears COVID admissions will not yet slow down," Del Rosario said. In their pediatric ICU, Del Rosario said they have increased beds to 12 from the original 8.
