Airports on alert for new SARS-like virus

MANILA, Philippines – Airports are now on alert for the possible entry of a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like virus that may have come from the Middle East.
Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 Quarantine Head Dr. Ali Agama said they were alerted after the World Health Organization released information that a 49-year-old male Qatari who had just travelled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) showed symptoms last September 3.  http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/09/26/12/airports-alert-new-sars-virus?
