The Philippine government's eight-man repatriation team successfully brought home around 30 Filipinos from Wuhan, China on February 9.

After completing a 14-day quarantine in New Clark City, the team and repatriated individuals celebrated their mission accomplishment.

One OFW musician named Shawn expressed excitement about reuniting with his family after the quarantine period.

A flight attendant who assisted in the repatriation efforts shared her experience as a former migrant worker and gratitude for being able to return home healthy.

On February 22, the DOH and DFA held a send-off ceremony for all 49 quarantined individuals, including the repatriated OFWs and the medical team, after showing no signs of COVID-19.
