Patient 4 shares battling COVID-19 is more psychological than physical

Carlo Navarro, the first Filipino to test positive for COVID-19, shared his experience in interviews.

Navarro tested positive on March 5 after returning from Japan and initially faced reluctance from St. Luke's Hospital to be tested.

He described battling the disease as more psychological than physical, emphasizing the importance of positive thinking and family support.

Navarro noted hearing wailing sounds of people losing loved ones added to his psychological pressure.

Symptoms started appearing around March 3, seven days after returning from Japan, with chills, coughing, and difficulty sleeping.
