MANILA — The East Avenue Medical Center has denied reports that it is running out of body bags or it has been told to stop counting COVID-19 fatalities.
He said the hospital does not have freezers in the morgue, because in the past bodies were immediately retrieved by relatives within six hours after death.“Ang mga pamilya hindi rin agresibo na mag-check o asikasuhin ’yung remains ng kanilang kamag-anak,” he said. “Doon naman sa Quezon City health department, ang alam namin puno na ang slots ng cremation.”
He assured the public that the area is well-ventilated and that employees entering the morgue wear gas masks and personal protective equipment, as a precautionary measure since the COVID-19 test results for the patients have yet to be released. Ordoña said this would cost the families P65,000 to P200,000 and many are unable to shoulder the expense.
He said while the LGU was able to retrieve the bodies for cremation, the hospital still needs a mortuary freezer.
