MANILA, Philippines — Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said Saturday he has recovered from COVID-19.
“I am pleased to share that I have fully recovered from COVID-19 after undergoing a 14-day home quarantine,” Andanar said in a statement.
“Despite my clean bill of health, I will still observe another 5 days of voluntary quarantine to ensure the safety of those around me and those I will come into contact with,” he added.
On March, Andanar announced that he contracted COVID-19.
“With this, I call on those who have contracted the virus to remain strong-willed and to be hopeful of their recovery. And to trust that our Divine Creator will hear our prayers of healing and health,” Andanar said.
The PCOO chief also reminded the public to continue observing health protocols for the country’s “collective recovery” from the pandemic.
