MANILA/TAIPEI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Philippines will lift
a travel ban it had imposed on visitors from Taiwan in a bid to
control the spread of the coronavirus, a senior Philippine
official and Taiwan's official news agency said on Friday.
The move follows a warning by Taipei of possible retaliation
against the ban.
The Philippine official told Reuters the decision had been
made but declined to be named until the agreement was signed.
Taiwan's Central News Agency cited an unnamed source in the
Philippines as saying the ban would be lifted.
The coronavirus has killed more than 1,380 people, almost
all in China.
