ABS-CBN News

All Filipinos repatriated this weekend from the epicenter of a global coronavirus outbreak in China were healthy, the Department of Health said Monday, following a wave of panic in communities surrounding the group&#x27;s quarantine area. None of the 32 Filipinos from Wuhan city in central China developed symptoms of the novel coronavirus since their arrival at the Athletes&#x27; Village in Capas, Tarlac last Saturday, said DOH Spokesperson and Undersecretary Eric Domingo. &quot;Lahat po ng mga dumating ay malusog (everyone who arrived was healthy),&quot; he told DZMM. Health workers will be deployed to monitor and allay the fears of communities surrounding the Athletes&#x27; Village, he added. Residents in Capas earlier held a rally while the town council planned a resolution against holding the quarantine in their area. They dropped these moves after a dialogue with health officials, said Mayor Rey Catacutan. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/02/10/20/filipinos-from-wuhan-get-loving-welcome-from-tarlac-after-protests-mayor">Filipinos from Wuhan get &#x27;loving&#x27; welcome from Tarlac after protests: mayor </a></li></ul>Domingo earlier said Health Secretary Francisco Duque III already reached out to local government officials and communicated that the repatriates &quot;will not come in contact to the community.”China confirmed up to 900 deaths due to the virus and some 40,000 cases.
