MANILA, Philippines — Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Sunday said he tested positive for COVID-19.
“I have Covid. Tested positive Thursday,” Remulla told reporters.
Remulla added that he is only currently experiencing mild symptoms of COVID-19.
Meanwhile, Jose Dominic Clavano, a lawyer assigned at the Office of the DOJ Secretary, told reporters that Remulla “is okay already,” adding that the Justice Secretary is working at home, while on quarantine.
This came just a few days after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. tested positive for COVID-19 after taking an antigen test on July 8 — his second bout with the disease.
Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles assured on Sunday, however, that Marcos’ condition had already improved.
The President now only has mild symptoms with “no fever, no loss of taste and smell sensation,” said Cruz-Angeles.
