PH health expert clears misconceptions vs 2019-nCov

Edsel Salvaña, director of University of the Philippines Manila's Institute of Molecular Biology, clarified several misconceptions about the 2019 novel coronavirus acute respiratory disease . "All other assertions are fake news. Persons under investigation are not confirmed cases, they are people with symptoms who may have been exposed," he explained. "Please stop asking DOH for details on PUIs. These are protected by the privacy act and there are security concerns.

He also debunked assertions that the Philippines is protected from the virus because of its warm climate. "Please do not take any HIV meds without advice from your doctor. Only specific classes of HIV meds may have activity so do not experiment. nCoV also does not make HIV tests positive if you do not have HIV," he added.

"Our front line healthcare workers are in harm's way so let's support them by following instructions, not sharing or making fake news, and praying for their safety," he said.

so we will not listen to you if you are not from DOH.
