Isa pang nag-positive kahapon sa COVID ay si Ted Failon.
Ayon sa kanyang statement : “On late Sunday night, March 28th, I received a message from Radyo5 station officer notifying me that one of my co-workers in the station tested positive for Covid-19 and that this co-worker identified me as a close contact.
“As soon as I heard the news, I immediately put myself in self-isolation and decided to have myself tested the morning of March 29th. And during late night of March 29th, the results came back indicating that I tested positive for Covid-19,” umpisa ng statement ni Mr. Ted.
“I am asymptomatic and I will follow the advice to self-isolate and be placed on home quarantine. All my close contacts have been informed of my situation for their appropriate action.
“I am praying that I do not develop any symptom and if at all possible, I can continue working from home, via any communication means that is achievable, given the current state I am in.”
Sa huli, paalala nito na sundin ang health protocols. “We need to be extra cautious and take all necessary precautions to ensure our safety and the safety of our families.”
Kasama sa close contact ni Ted si DJ Chacha na luckily ay negative agad sa swab. Post ni DJ Chacha : “Positibo sa Covid 19 si Sir Ted Failon. Asymptomatic po siya at maayos ang kalagayan. Lahat ng nakasalamuha niya, kasama na ako doon ay dumaan sa swab test. I got my result yesterday, and Thank God I am negative. Mixed emotions kase masaya na negative ako pero malungkot dahil positive ang ibang kasamahan ko sa trabaho. Para lang makasiguro, may swab test ulit kaming lahat on Saturday, April 3.”
Mas mabilis daw makahawa ngayon ang bagong variant kaya talagang hindi lang doble kundi triple-triple pang pag-iingat ang kailangan para makaiwas sa virus.
Kahapon ay 9,296 ang new positive.
