The first time I heard about Covid-19 was a week before the month of January ended. I was planning to buy masks in Tokyo as "pasalubong" because Taal Volcano was still under Alert Level 4 and every one was scared that it will erupt soon. However, I found out that the stores were limiting 5 packs per traveller because tourists are already on a mask panic-buying-spree. It was also that time that I've read about the cases in Wuhan, China.
