The Department of Health has heightened its screening efforts at all ports of entry after reports of the spread of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus, or MERS-CoV, DOH Assistant Undersecretary, Dr. Gerardo Bayugo, said yesterday.
Bayugo, who was in Bacolod, said all their facilities have been prepared to take care and manage this kind of special infection as it enters the country.
But first, they would like to prevent its entry. So they have installed in the ports of entry thermal scanners to detect possible suspected carriers, he said.

Cop ‘kills' ex-SAF member
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
A police officer, who received an award from the Philippine National Police in 1998, is being investigated for the fatal shooting of a former member of the Army's Special Action Force in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental, Thursday.
Police Officer 3 Carl Marc Logronio Jopillo, 37, presently assigned at the Guihulngan City police station, claimed he was conducting a surveillance operation of drug personalities in Sitio Pisok, Poblacion in Guihulngan City, when the former SAF, identified as Reynaldo Olila, the husband of his sister-in-law, arrived. Olila was allegedly unruly and apparently under the influence of intoxicating liquor, he added.
Jopillo said he advised Olila to calm down but, instead, the latter allegedly tried to pull a gun from his waist, prompting the cop to disarm the former Army man.
