Eastern Visayas confirms second COVID-19 case
A 63-year-old male from Calbayog City in Samar is the second confirmed case of COVID-19 in Eastern Visayas, according to the DOH.
The patient contracted the virus while traveling in Metro Manila before returning home on March 8.
He was admitted twice due to flu-like symptoms and will be transferred to the Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center due to high-risk health conditions.
DOH director Minerva Molon stated there is no local transmission since both cases are unrelated, with travel history to different areas in Metro Manila.
The first case, a 51-year-old female from Northern Samar, has recorded two consecutive negative tests and is ready for discharge.
