Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri admitted he tested positive for COVID-19 and is not sure how he got contaminated since he has been practicing social distancing and the no-handshake policy.
In a statement, Zubiri said he has been asymptomatic and in self-quarantine since Wednesday evening after the session.
“It is with sadness that I announce that I am positive for COVID-19. I had a test taken last Friday while on self-quarantine, and this afternoon, I received a call from Sec. Duque on my condition,” he said.
“My heart sank with what he had said but I’m uplifted with the fact that I am asymptomatic, and have no fever or cough nor am I weak or have any headaches,” he added.
Zubiri said he will be in isolation for 10 more days until he gets checked again.
Meanwhile, he asks the public to “stay home and stay clean” as his situation “goes to show how easily (the) virus is spread.”
