In one day, the number of infected people will increase by 13/100 * 685 = <<13/100*685=88.95>>88.95
After two days, the number of infected people will increase by 88.95 * 2 = <<88.95*2=177.9>>177.9
In three days, the number of infected people will increase by 88.95 * 3 = <<88.95*3=266.85>>266.85
There will have been 685 + 266.85 = <<685+266.85=951.85>>951.85 people who have caught the virus after three days.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, 951.85 becomes 952. Answer: \boxed{952}.
