A magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck the Philippines on Tuesday, killing at least one person, injuring four others and damaging roads and buildings.
According to officials, a hospital and a sports complex, which was being used as a coronavirus quarantine centre, were also damaged.
Patients were later moved into tents, as engineers checked the damages to determine if the building was safe.
It was the strongest earthquake in eight months in the Philippines, which lies on the "Ring of Fire," a seismically active belt of volcanoes circling the Pacific Ocean.
The quake struck at sea at a depth of 30 km, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre said, with no risk of a tsunami.
