MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Department of Health (DOH) on Thursday (Feb 6) identified Athletes’ Village in New Clark City, Tarlac province, as a quarantine area for Filipinos who would be evacuated from the locked-down province of Hubei in central China, the epicentre of a new coronavirus epidemic.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III told reporters on Thursday that procedures and protocols had been set for the repatriation of the Filipinos.“We plan to bring back our fellow Filipinos here in the country as seamlessly and efficiently as possible. Procedures were set [in] place, from the moment [they] board the plane up [to] their arrival at New Clark City, ” Duque said.

After getting off the plane, the Filipinos will be screened by the Bureau of Quarantine . Duque said those found to have symptoms would be taken to hospitals for observation and those without symptoms would be transported to the Athletes’ Village. During the quarantine period, a room will be allotted to each person to ensure patient safety and convenience.
