(UPDATED) Two private hospitals in Metro Manila announced Monday, July 13, 2020, that they have reached full capacity for Covid-19 patients and are no longer able to accommodate more patients who may have contracted the novel coronavirus.

St. Luke’s Medical Center advised critically ill Covid-19 suspect patients to seek treatment in other hospitals as intensive care unit (ICU) beds allotted for such patients in its two facilities are all occupied.

Both St. Luke’s facilities in Quezon City and Global City in Taguig are, however, still able to accommodate patients diagnosed with illnesses other than the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
