Nine Doctors Die After Contracting Coronavirus From Patients In Philippines

Nine doctors have just been confirmed dead in the Philippines after they contracted coronavirus while treating patients.

The country’s top medical association made this known to the public on Thursday, March 26 2020, as hospitals were overwhelmed and medics complained about lack of protection on the front lines. 

Three large hospitals in Manila reported on Wednesday that they have reached full capacity and would no longer be able to accept new coronavirus cases.

Hundreds of medical staff are no longer accepting patients because they are under  14days self-quarantine after suspected exposure to the virus was reported.
