Ang said persons especially pregnant women showing Covid-19 symptoms are encouraged to seek consultation at the BRO, because the City Health Office (CHO) no longer accommodates such patients.

Ang added that “patient traffic will be lesser in emergency rooms and outpatient department in hospitals” with BRO center in place.

The respiratory center has a triage area, 10 separate consultation rooms, a laboratory collection room, and a mobile x-ray machine.
