MANILA, Philippines — Quezon City 5th District Rep. Alfred Vargas on Saturday said he tested positive for COVID-19.
Vargas, however, said he is asymptomatic.
Nagpositibo po ako sa COVID-19, ayon sa huli kong test. Napakarami rin nating kababayan ang nakatanggap ng ganitong balita ngayong linggo. Sa kabila ng pangamba at quarantine, buo po ang ating pananalig at patuloy ang ating paglilingkod at pagbibigay-serbisyo. pic.twitter.com/j8ZeohS9Ox

“We are following all prescribed safety protocols and I continue my work from my isolation station to ensure that our services to our constituents will not be disrupted,” he added.
