Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Eduardo Año said on Sunday that he was again tested positive for the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19).
Año said that the test result came out on Saturday after undergoing the PCR test on August 14.
On August 13, Año said he “began experiencing flu-like symptoms including a sore throat and body aches’’.
“I began my self-quarantine and got myself PCR test on August 14,’’ Año said.
Año is now in isolation and being closely monitored by his doctors.
“I make this announcement to call the attention of all persons I had close contact with to go on self-quarantine, observe any symptoms in accordance with DoH guidelines, and take appropriate action,’’ he added.
The DILG chief said getting infected with the virus again emphasizes the severity of the virus.
He also called on the public anew to practice minimum health standards, specifically wearing face masks, washing hands frequently and practicing social distancing.
“By adhering to these guidelines, we can all help keep our loved ones and our community safe,’’ Año said.
Año first contacted the disease last March but recovered after several weeks. (Chito Chavez)
