Davao City VP goes on home quarantine with COVID-19 symptoms

Davao City Vice Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte has voluntarily entered a 14-day home quarantine after exhibiting symptoms indicative of COVID-19, including a sore throat, cough, and fever.

Mayor Sara Duterte confirmed her brother's self-isolation and status as a person under monitoring.

The vice mayor had traveled from Manila approximately four weeks prior to developing symptoms.

Vice Mayor Duterte is waiting for his COVID-19 test result.

Mayor Duterte advised her brother against seeking COVID-19 testing due to the limited availability of testing kits.

She expressed hope that her brother's symptoms are due to a recurring bout of tonsillitis rather than COVID-19.
