The Philippines confirmed a second case of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) corona virus on Monday in a man, who showed symptoms after arriving in Manila in June from Dubai.
The 36-year-old was admitted to hospital on Saturday and was under observation, Health Ministry spokesman Lyndon Lee-suy said.
The man had also travelled to Saudi Arabia, the spokesman said. His condition was improving and there was no known transmission so far.
The first case discovered in the Philippines was in January, a Filipino nurse working in Saudi Arabia who survived.
