CORONAVIRUS – Doctor Willie Ong gave some personal tips for the people to be safe from nCoV.
Nowadays, one of the common worries of most people is the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus. Also called as nCoV, the said disease was first recorded in Wuhan City in Hubei province in China.
In the epicenter of the virus, the disease has infected nearly 8,000 people. It was the cause of death of at least 300 people and its outbreak prompted the locking down of the place to curb the spread of the virus.
However, it has still reached several other countries through the individuals who flew from China. Its incubation period is two (2) weeks that is why some people knew they are positive for nCoV when they were already in another country.
In the Philippines, the Department of Health (DOH) confirmed last Thursday that a 38-year-old Chinese woman tested positive for the nCoV. She is admitted at San Lazaro hospital.
Recently, the nCoV scare was triggered when the companion of the said Chinese woman died due to coronavirus. He’s a 44-year-old man who was with the woman who flew to PH from Hong Kong and visited Cebu and Dumaguete before flying to Manila.
Many are in the pursuit to avoid the virus – medical masks are even out of stocks now. In a video, Dr. Willie Ong shared some personal tips on how to prevent coronavirus infection.
