Pharmally’s Twinkle Dargani gets COVID-19 under Senate detention
Twinkle Dargani, president of Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation, will remain under Senate custody after testing positive for COVID-19.
The Senate Office of Sergeant-at-Arms (OSAA) will be her isolation facility upon the advice of the Senate Medical Bureau, which cited the high occupancy rate of the Philippine General Hospital.
Dargani is experiencing mild symptoms, including a sore throat, and underwent an RT-PCR test on January 6.
She has been detained at the Senate OSAA since November 14 due to her failure to submit required corporate documents concerning Pharmally's P10 billion COVID-19 supply contracts.
The Senate building is currently under a total lockdown until January 16 for disinfection procedures.
