In a report by RH Edniel Parros, BJMP Spokesperson Jayrex Bustinera stated that Guo has now been placed in a regular cell with 43 other Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs).
Guo was initially isolated upon her transfer to the Pasig City Jail Female Dormitory this morning after a spot in her left lung was detected in an x-ray conducted at the PNP General Hospital.
According to Philippine National Police (PNP) Spokesperson PCol. Jean Fajardo, Guo's health was cleared just this Friday, so it is possible that the concerning infection developed over the weekend.
Aside from cough and colds, Guo did not experience any illness during her more than two weeks of stay at Camp Crame.
At around 8:50 AM today, Guo left Camp Crame and arrived at the female dormitory at the Pasig City jail at exactly 9:14 AM.
