Japanese with COVID-19 checked in at 3 hotels in Metro Manila — DOH’s Duque
A 44-year-old Japanese national who stayed in three different hotels in Metro Manila from February 21 to 28 tested positive for COVID-19 in Japan on March 4.
The onset of his symptoms, cough and fever, occurred after he left the Philippines.
The Department of Health (DOH) is considering the possibility that he contracted the virus in another country, given his extensive travel history including Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan.
A 30-year-old Taiwanese man, previously identified as the Philippines' 44th COVID-19 case, is also believed to have contracted the virus before arriving in the country.
The DOH continues to study the case of an Australian woman who tested positive for COVID-19 after visiting Manila and Pangasinan.
