Philippines discharges first two nCoV patients; most cases mild

As of February 11, 2020, the DOH confirmed three cases of COVID-19 in the Philippines; one patient died and two were discharged.

The first discharged patient is a 38-year-old woman from Wuhan who tested negative twice for the virus at least 48 hours apart and showed clinical improvement.

Health Secretary Duque noted that most cases from China are mild, with severe symptoms affecting only about 16-20% of patients, primarily those over 60 or with underlying conditions.
