Military hospital in QC caring for PUI cases
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Medical Center, also known as V. Luna General Hospital, has admitted patients for monitoring of the 2019 novel coronavirus acute respiratory disease (2019-nCoV ARD).
An undisclosed number of persons under investigation (PUI) are isolated in the hospital's infectious ward, which is a separate building from the main hospital.
PUIs are identified as patients with a travel history to affected countries like China, Hong Kong, and Macau who are exhibiting symptoms such as cough, colds, fever, and difficulty breathing.
Persons under monitoring (PUMs) are individuals with only a travel history to these countries.
The hospital is ensuring the safety of other patients by quarantining suspected cases in this separate infectious ward.
There are three confirmed cases of nCoV in the Philippines.
