Malacañang on Thursday urged the public to contact the One Hospital Command Center for those who need COVID-19 treatment.

Palace spokesman Harry Roque on Monday said medical aid would be available to all those who need it. However, there are reports that some patients wait for days for hospital admission or succumb to COVID-19 before they could get treatment.
