With the
influx of thousands of tourists from different places, residents in Boracay are
starting to worry about reports of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus
(MERS-CoV) outbreak.
Department
of Tourism (DOT) Boracay OIC Tim Ticar, on the other hand, advises both guests
and residents not to worry about the said virus.
According
to Ticar, their communication with the Department of Health (DOH) says that
there is nothing to be worried about because the Philippines is negative from
MERS-CoV.
Nevertheless,
Ticar still encourages the Boracay community to observe precautionary measures
for their own safety.
MERS-CoV
was first recorded in Saudi Arabia in 2012.
Its signs
& symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath and loose bowel
movement.
