Highlights
LGUs can establish these isolation facilities in their areas to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in a household.
Overview
A recommended isolation facility is introduced to different LGUs to set up in their areas. The LIGTAs (Local Isolation General Treatment Areas for COVID-19) aims to admission an alternative to home-based isolation to control the spread of the virus in households and communities. It is not a hospital but rather an isolation facility that connects to a wider health care system. It also explains the flow of function in the facility to further understand its contribution to the community.
