Harry Roque had been deemed fit enough to transfer from his room at PGH to a treatment facility.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque on Tuesday said that he had been deemed fit enough to transfer out of his room at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) and move to a temporary treatment and monitoring facility or TTMF.
During his regular press briefing, Roque said that he was told that he should arrange for a TTMF starting Wednesday, April 14, 2021.
A TTMF or a temporary treatment and monitoring facility was a type of facility that accommodated patients with mild COVID-19 symptoms in order to free up hospital beds for persons with moderate to severe COVID-19 symptoms.
Roque then defended his hospital admission by saying that he’s in “bad shape” at the time he sought a room at the Philippine General Hospital last April 10.

Roque also shared more about the details of his COVID-19 reinfection during his press briefing.
