According to Sec. Duque, two of the repatriates had bouts of strep throat, while the other one experienced coughing, but the three did not have a fever.

They are confined in a hospital in Pampanga, and after the completion of their test results, the three repatriates will return to New Clark City to complete the 14-day quarantine.
