TORRIJOS, Marinduque (PIA) -- The Torrijos Municipal Hospital is temporarily suspending its out-patient and in-patient department, delivery room, dental and dietary services from August 2 to August 10, as four employees got infected by COVID-19.
In a letter sent on Monday, Dr. Josine Oblipias, chief of Torrijos hospital said that this measure is needed to ensure the safety of their patients and employees. While their services are on hold, said hospital will undergo intensive disinfection.
It was just last week that the local government of Torrijos placed some areas under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) after two senior citizens reportedly died of coronavirus disease 2019 from unknown exposure.
