Health Secretary Francisco Duque III says there is nothing in preliminary tests conducted on the 29-year-old man from Yunnan, China, which would indicate that he died due to the novel coronavirus.

San Lazaro Hospital officials also confirmed earlier in the week that three Chinese nationals who have exhibited symptoms similar to 2019-nCoV infection have been admitted and are under investigation.

Two of them, a couple from Wuhan — the Chinese city at the center of the coronavirus outbreak — had been admitted since Friday. Only the man exhibited flu-like symptoms, but his partner was also admitted. Another Chinese man from Hubei province, where Wuhan is located, was also admitted to the San Lazaro Hospital.stable and recoveringDuque said that 23 people are now under investigation in local health facilities for 2019-nCoV, with four other people having been released earlier. He said the four are still being monitored.

The number of cases grew by almost 1,500 from Tuesday, an increase of over 30%. The figures do not include Hong Kong, Macau, and the self-governing island of Taiwan that China considers as its province. The three areas have reported a small number of cases. The virus has also spread outside of China, with cases being reported in South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Sri Lanka and Australia.
