The Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center on Monday, May 18, debunked unofficial reports that some patients, who recently visited the hospital for prenatal consultations, allegedly acquired the virus there. “Much of COVID-19 cases of expectant mothers without any signs and symptoms of the disease got intercepted at the Medical Center only when they are about to deliver. This implies that they may have contracted the virus prior to seeking perinatal care at our facility,” it added.

“The census of COVID-19-related OB-Gyne patients even exceeds the number of non-COVID cases which only amount to 87 of the same period,” the VSMMC said.
