The Philippines remains to 2019nCoV that is the public statement
of Department of Health (DOH) Secretary
Francisco Duque III.
But as of press time there is 20 plus (27) individuals are
currently being closely monitored by the DOH for possible 2019-nCoV infection
There is no known vaccine that can addressed the 2019-nCoV and public health experts are saying the best possible defense of the body for such virus is a strong immune system and avoiding interaction with those infected with the new coronavirus are the best ways to block the illness.

The
mysterious new strain, which can cause a pneumonia-like acute respiratory
infection, has so far killed more than 100 in
China and infected some 4,000 (and still rising) across the world.
"The only thing that will help us
fight off the disease is not interact with those who are sick," Dr. Susan
Mercado told ANC's Headstart.
"Have a balanced diet, sleep the
right number of hours, get good physical exercise. It’s about staying healthy,
eating fruits and vegetables, drinking a lot of water."
The
new corona virus can spread by droplets, for instance when people sneeze or
cough, or through direct contact with infected people or with objects they have
touched, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.
It remains unclear if the virus, known
as 2019nCoV, is contagious before symptoms of fever or respiratory difficulties
appear, it added.
"This virus is in human beings.
What we need to do is limit the movement of those who are sick and avoid those
who are sick. If they get well and they fight off the virus, the virus dies in
them," Mercado said.
