The male patient received two doses of the Sinopharm vaccine on Dec. 12 last year and on Jan. 2, DOH-Region 7 spokesperson Dr. Mary Jean Loreche told reporters in a message.
He arrived in Mandaue City last Jan. 5 from the United Arab Emirates and completed the quarantine period on the 20th.
A few weeks later, he underwent a swab test on Feb. 8 and the results released the next day showed he was positive for the coronavirus.
"Five out of seven household members were (also) positive for COVID-19, they are all currently isolated," Loreche added
