11 Chinese nationals under 'house quarantine' in Aklan
Eleven Chinese nationals are under house quarantine in Aklan for observation for the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
Four of the eleven had possible contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case in Hong Kong.
The other seven were included in the quarantine as they were traveling companions and close relatives of the four.
They are being monitored twice daily for symptoms such as fever, cough, or colds.
The group is quarantined at the Aklan Training Center and no longer at a hostel owned by the provincial government.
They requested to be transferred from the provincial hospital to the training center on January 25th, fearing they might contract diseases there.
