COVID-stricken Roque isolating in two-star hotel in San Juan
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque refuted claims that he was isolating in a luxurious hotel in Pasay after testing positive for COVID-19, stating he is currently in a government-accredited quarantine facility in San Juan.
Roque clarified that the facility in San Juan is a two-star hotel and not a posh establishment, emphasizing that he and his family cannot afford such accommodations.
He explained that individuals who test positive for COVID-19 are permitted to stay in designated government quarantine hotels.
Roque mentioned that other government officials, including a PTV anchor and personnel from Malacañang, are also undergoing quarantine in the same facility.
As he is asymptomatic, Roque plans to consult with his doctor regarding the possibility of completing his isolation at home instead of remaining in the quarantine facility.
