Philippine authorities have confirmed the country’s second case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers)، in a foreigner who arrived from Dubai.
Health officials said the 36-year-old man tested positive last Saturday and has been quarantined near Manila.
In February، a Filipino nurse who returned home after working in the Middle East was found with the virus، but later recovered.
Mers، which has no known cure، has killed nearly 500 people worldwide.
Asian countries have been on alert for cases of the flu-like virus since an outbreak in May in South Korea، where 33 people have now died.
