MANILA - All coronavirus cases in Central Visayas that were discovered with 2 mutations of COVID-19 only exhibited mild symptoms and have finished quarantine, health officials said Friday.

"All the cases in Central Visayas with the 2 mutations of concern, and these are the E484K as well as the N501Y, exhibited only mild symptoms and have been cleared from their quarantine," Dr. Cynthia Saloma, executive director of the Philippine Genome Center, said in a virtual press briefing.

"Of the cases that were given [to] us, we reviewed the data of these cases, I presumed every one of them are already out in their homes and communities," he said. The E484K mutation, which means changes in its genetic sequence, is present in the South African variant of SARS-CoV-2.
