Philippines' Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that around 45 Filipinos repatriated from China are set to arrive in the Philippines this weekend. Health Secretary Francisco Duque III says they will immediately undergo examinations upon arrival.


Those who show signs and symptoms of the 2019 N-Co-v acute respiratory disease will be brought to the hospital while those who are symptom-free will be brought to the Athlete's Village, Clark City in Tarlac.  They will remain under quarantine for the next 14 days.
