In a statement, authorities said Chan, who is currently in Saudi Arabia, will board a flight within the day and is expected to arrive in the SAR on Tuesday afternoon.
Chan earlier extended his stay in Riyadh after catching the virus during a business trip to the Middle East. His infection was announced on Thursday.
