IZA Calzado is reportedly in good spirits despite having tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The actress was hospitalized following a bout with pneumonia.
Her COVID-19 test result came out Saturday.
According to her manager, Noel Ferrer, the actress was lucid and calm when he spoke to her the same day.
“Maayos at kalmado ang Iza Calzado na kapalitan ko ng mensahe kanina lang ukol sa kanyang kalagayan,” he shared via Pep.ph.
He went on to add, “Masaya lang ako at very lucid at maayos ang disposisyon ni Iza sa lahat ng ito. Ang sabi niya sa akin, ‘Getting better one day at a time.’”
Iza, according to
Noel, is feeling better and that, unlike the past few days, she could now actually breathe without the help of a respirator. But she is still in the hospital waiting further testing. “Nagpapasalamat si Iza sa lahat ng patuloy na nagpapaabot ng mensahe ng panalangin at pagmamahal sa kanya, kasama na ang pamunuan ng Kapamilya network na nakasuporta sa kanya.
“Kapag umokey na ang tests sa kanya at tapos na ang antibiotics, puwede na siyang umuwi.” Iza is the latest showbiz personality confirmed infected with COVID-19. Prior, actor Christopher de Leon admitted via social media that he tested positive for the virus.
He has since been discharged from the hospital. Meanwhile, another actor, Menggie Cobarrubias, succumbed to pneumonia recently. He also supposedly tested positive for COVID19.
