Canadian negative for nCoV, 3 more persons quarantined in Negros Occidental
A Canadian national, previously quarantined in Negros Occidental for suspected novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection, has tested negative for the virus.
Specimens from a 12-year-old Filipino boy, also quarantined for suspected nCoV, are still awaiting confirmatory test results from the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).
Three more individuals, including a foreigner with a layover in Taiwan and two Filipinos with travel history from Hong Kong, are now considered persons under investigation (PUIs) after exhibiting flu-like symptoms.
Currently, four PUIs are being monitored in the hospital pending their test results.
In addition, five students in Talisay City who recently traveled to China are under monitoring.
Authorities maintain that Negros Occidental is still free from nCoV and urge cooperation from individuals with relevant travel history to self-quarantine or seek medical attention if symptoms develop.
