Dr. Grace Santiago, Quezon health officer, tagged the three as patients under investigation (PUI).

“These people being observed and investigated on have history of travels in listed watch-out countries,” Santiago said in an online interview Wednesday morning.

She did not provide other details about the three PUIs and just said they were confined in undisclosed hospitals.
