Zubiri recovers from COVID-19, tests negative
Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri has officially recovered from COVID-19 after receiving his second negative test result.
Zubiri announced on Sunday, April 12, that he obtained a second negative result from the Makati City health office, a requirement for patients to be considered recovered.
He previously announced testing positive for COVID-19 on March 16, after experiencing a slight fever.
The senator expressed his gratitude to God for healing him and giving him a second chance at life.
Zubiri had initially gone into self-quarantine after a resource person in a Senate hearing tested positive for the virus.
The wife of the resource person was confirmed to be the first Filipino fatality due to COVID-19.
Other senators, including Sonny Angara and Koko Pimentel, also tested positive for the disease.
As of Sunday, the Philippines has recorded 297 deaths and over 4,600 infections from the novel coronavirus.
