The DOH was verifying the residential address of other cases not included in this list of cities and provinces.

Three other cases are listed under China. They were the tourists tagged as the first three persons to be found COVID-19 positive in the country. The DOH labeled them as imported cases.

COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 that is related to a bug that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome but is not as deadly, with only around a 3-percent mortality rate. The virus was first detected in Wuhan City in China’s Hubei province in late 2019.

WHO said 80 percent of patients experience mild illness and eventually recover from the disease, while some 14 percent experience severe illness and 5 percent were critically ill. The illness may be fatal for the elderly, the immunocompromised, and those with underlying medical conditions.

Among the symptoms of a COVID-19 infection are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may also experience aches or pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea.

The virus is spread through small droplets from the nose or mouth when those infected coughs or sneezes. Health authorities urge the public to practice frequent hand washing, cover their mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, and avoid close contact with those exhibiting respiratory symptoms to prevent infection.

President Rodrigo Duterte has placed the entire country under a state of calamity following the spike in the number of cases of the illness. Luzon and other areas were also placed under enhanced community quarantine, restricting more than 50 million Filipinos in their homes, in a drastic move to curb the spread of the disease.
