They are all in stable condition, according to the report.

In the largest port in Tagbilaran, two Taiwanese females from Cebu were recorded to have 38.9°C temperatures.

They were advised to undergo self-quarantine. As they showed no other symptoms of nCoV, authorities believed that their high temperature was due to the weather. — Joahna Lei Casilao/MDM, GMA News
