MANILA, Philippines — Seven persons from the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in Mandaluyong died of COVID-19 in March alone following a surge in infections wherein 152 tested positive for the virus, Mayor Carmelita Abalos said yesterday.
Abalos said the NCMH was previously doing well and even registered zero cases last March 1. However, the situation took a turn for the worse in the past month.
The NCMH is located in Barangay Mauway, which has the most number of active COVID-19 cases in the city at 193.
Abalos said the seven are among 26 from the NCMH who succumbed to the virus since last year. She did not disclose whom among the fatalities were patients.
