Right now, we’re all waiting for the results of the three Koreans examined at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) in Alabang, Muntinlupa.
While the results will be coming from the RITM, the Manila Doctors Hospital, as of 8:20am, is also crafting their official statement to be released on their website and respective social media accounts within Tuesday morning. “There are no results as of yet. We are also waiting for RITM to get in touch with us,” says their representative to Coconuts Manila over the telephone.
Here’s the timeline: Three Korean nationals were first brought to the Manila Doctors Hospital on Monday.
“Citing information from the hospital’s corporate communications unit, the dzBB report said the three were brought to the isolation room outside the emergency room,” reports Joel Locsin on GMA Network.com.
After showing possible symptoms of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS), the three were brought to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine via ambulance.
And now we’re back to the beginning: Everybody’s waiting for the results, hoping they test negative.
