In addition, he has no symptoms whatsoever.

“I’m 100 percent okay. No symptoms and my swab test is negative,” Sotto said in a direct message on Twitter, on Wednesday.

Based on the updates he shared on Twitter, the 31-year-old mayor continues to perform his duties as local chief executive by attending virtual meetings.

“Still working, wala nga lang (just no) face-to-face meetings,” he said when asked about his experience while under quarantine.

Currently, Sotto is in isolation at an undisclosed location in Pasig.

He said that he is going to finish his quarantine until March 24 which is in accordance with the health guidelines of the Department of Health (DoH).
