 Since the Philippines reported its first case of the novel coronavirus or 2019-nCoV,

fear of catching the respiratory disease caused by the deadly virus has spread quickly.

CNN Philippines learned that medical supply stores in Manila, Pagadian City and

Bukidnon have run out surgical masks amid growing anxiety about the novel coronavirus,

which has killed 213 people and sickened over 9,000 so far in mainland China. People

flocked to medical equipment shops in Cebu City and Bambang in Manila in search of

face masks, not minding the heat and the long queues. Despite the shortage, one

Bambang store opted to give their remaining face masks for free. Individuals may go to

the cashier area of the Medical Depot and ask for a free mask.
