Lorenzana tests positive for COVID-19 again
MANILA, Philippines — Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana yesterday confirmed that he has again tested positive for COVID-19 and will be self-isolating.
“Yes, I am COVID-positive,” he told reporters, declaring that he got the results of his swab test yesterday morning after getting tested on Tuesday afternoon.
“I am asymptomatic,” Lorenzana said, adding that he is fully vaccinated and he will observe himself for several days and get tested again.
The 72-year-old Cabinet secretary tested positive for COVID-19 in April. He was able to recover from the infection, saying he kept himself mentally and physically healthy.
During the Senate plenary hearings for the 2022 budget yesterday, Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri announced that the Senate sergeant-at-arms had informed them that Lorenzana tested positive for the virus.
