Statement of Secretary of National Defense after being found to be positive of the COVID-19

The result of my RT-PCR test today, 06 April 2021, came up positive. I will be undergoing isolation, following the quarantine guidelines to avoid infecting others. Those who have been exposed to me have been informed. They have been advised to isolate and get tested for COVID-19 as well.

The Department of National Defense shall continue to operate with a skeleton workforce to ensure continuity of service, with the prescribed health protocols strictly enforced.

I would like to remind everyone that the threat of the virus is as real as ever, more so now due to the new variants. Let us all cooperate and abide by the prescribed health protocols to help in curbing the spread of COVID-19.

Be safe everyone!
