The Philippines confirmed a second case of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus on Monday, in a man who showed symptoms after arriving in Manila last month from Dubai.
The 36-year-old was admitted to hospital on Saturday and was under observation, Health Ministry spokesman Lyndon Lee-suy said, adding contact tracing was now under way to prevent the spread of the disease.
The man had also travelled to Saudi Arabia, the spokesman said. His condition was improving and there was no known transmission so far.
