MAYNILA - Pansamantalang ititigil muna ng Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital sa Maynila ang pagtanggap ng mga pasyente simula Biyernes, Oktubre 23 matapos na magpositibo sa COVID-19 ang ilang mga doktor nito.

“Ipinagbibigay-alam namin sa publiko, lalo na sa mga pasyente namin at sa mga ibang pasyente na nagnanais sanang pumunta ng Fabella Hospital na as of today, Oct. 23, itinitigil muna namin ang admission both ng OB o mga pasyenteng buntis, pati na rin mga bata,” pahayag ni Dr. Diane Cajipe, public information officer ng ospital.

Pahayag ni Cajipe sa panayam sa TeleRadyo, ito ay bunsod ng pagiging positibo sa COVID-19 ng isang grupo ng mga doktor.

“Pitong doctor po ito and then meron pong isa from the nursing department also,” sabi niya. Naka-isolate naman aniya na ang mga doktor na pawang asymptomatic.

Maging ang outpatient division ng ospital, kasama lahat ng mga serbisyo tulad ng laboratory, ultrasound, at xray ay ititigil din muna.

“Lahat ng naka-schedule sa OPD ngayong araw lang pong ito ay tatapusin pero simula sa Lunes, pati po outpatient division ng Fabella Hospital titigil po muna until further notice,” sabi niya.

Huwebes nang lumabas ang resulta ng swab test ng mga doktor kaya’t agad silang nagdesisyong itigil ang admission para agad na makapag-contact tracing at ma-swab test ang lahat ng nagkaroon ng close contact sa mga nagpositibong mga doktor.

“Ongoing na swabbing ng mga na-trace na nagkaroon ng close contacts sa doctors na ito but eventually all employees of Fabella Hospital mag uundego ng testing,” sabi niya.

Kasabay nito, nagsasagawa na rin ng disinfection sa ospital.

Nobel economics laureate Joseph Stiglitz argued at a global conference Thursday that nations should counter the policies of US President Donald Trump's "dysfunctional" administration by imposing tariffs and taxing American multinationals.

The American economist was speaking at a conference on corporate tax reform held in Vatican City, with speakers including Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

"We have to think of ways to respond creatively to what is a dysfunctional government in the United States," said Stiglitz, who has long championed reform of international tax rules to ensure multinational corporations pay their fair share.

He said Trump's move this week to freeze enforcement of a long-established anti-bribery law was symbolic of the "illicit flows" across borders due to corruption.

"Now we have the president of the United States saying bribery is OK. 'It's going to be great for American business,' he said," Stiglitz said.

Trump on Monday ordered the Department of Justice to freeze enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a law prohibiting US companies from bribing foreign government officials to gain business.

Stiglitz said the international community should expand its use of "countervailing duties", or tariffs imposed by one country to counter subsidies by another, "to say, if you allow bribery, that is a subsidy to your companies".

"If you don't do anything about climate change that's a subsidy and those countries that are engaged in not dealing with climate change face an extra tax," he added.

"If the United States disbands its USAID programme, causing an enormous suffering around the world without any notice, abuse of human rights in a basic way, the rest of the world should say, 'Well, we will tax your multinationals to get the revenue to maintain USAID."

Stiglitz is the co-chair of Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation (ICRICT), an organisation that seeks to put an end to tax havens, and which convened Thursday's meeting.

In November, G20 leaders agreed in Rio di Janeiro to cooperate to get the world's billionaires to pay more in tax.

But efforts to reduce loopholes for multinational cooperations on the global level have stalled.

Trump has pulled the US out of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) global tax deal, signed by close to 140 countries, which levies a 15 percent minimum tax on corporate profits.
