Dr. Mary Ann Navarro said the 63-year-old female who has been classified as a "probable" coronavirus case expired on the night of April 15 at the Ospital ng Palawan (ONP) with her test results still pending at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).
The Department of Health (DOH) Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (RESU) said Tuesday that 4 PUIs test results from the province are still pending from the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).
Dr. Mary Ann Navarro, chief of the Provincial Health Office (PHO), said Monday morning to Palawan News in a phone interview that they initially thought of designating the Ospital ng Palawan (ONP) as the centralized laboratory, but its management said it cannot take the special task due to some limitations such as "space requirement".
