Forum Hall has been fully converted into a quarantine center and turned over to the PNP Medical Corps.
“We welcome the opportunity to support DPWH in achieving its target for PICC and other quarantine facilities,” Ms. Alimon said. The DPWH was given the mandate to convert properties into Heal As One quarantine centers – like the PICC, Ninoy Aquino Sports Complex, the Phil Sports Arena (ULTRA) and the World Trade Center among others.
