DOT details questions for guests manifesting nCoV symptoms
The Department of Tourism (DOT) has issued guidelines for accommodation establishments to manage guests during the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak.
Establishments are instructed to inquire about guests' recent travel history to China or other affected countries, contact with confirmed or suspected cases, and presence of fever or flu-like symptoms.
Guests who answer 'yes' to any of these inquiries are to be considered 'probable nCoV' and referred to local health workers or government hospitals for medical protocols.
Those who answer 'no' to all questions are deemed 'negative nCoV' but should still be referred to a doctor for their symptoms.
The DOT is coordinating with tourism stakeholders and local government units to emphasize precautionary measures against the virus.
Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat stated that the health, safety, and well-being of everyone is the department's top priority.
She urged the public to stay informed and follow health department guidelines to minimize risk and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
