The detected case, announced only the other day, is of a 31-year-old Filipino who arrived from abroad on July 19 – with no other details like gender, what country the case has come from, except that the case and traced close contacts are now in isolation. Health OIC Undersecretary Beverly Ho also said the unnamed case remains under strict isolation and monitoring.While some people have mild symptoms, others may develop more serious symptoms and need care in a health facility. Those at higher risk for severe disease or complications include people who are pregnant, children and persons that are immunocompromised.
This is followed or accompanied by the development of a rash which can last for two to three weeks. The rash can be found on the face, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, eyes, mouth, throat, groin, and genital and/or anal regions of the body.
