Kapuso Comedian Michael V. has confirmed positive with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
On Monday morning, the Kapuso comedian announced the news and shared his documented journey through his COVID-19 journey on his latest vlog post.
According to Bitoy, he experienced flu-like symptoms the last time he tried to vlog.
“Siyempre nag-isolate na kagad ako, nag-quarantine na kagad ako. I took medicine nagpa-check up ako sa doctor online, I got better the following day,” he said on his vlog.
According to Bitoy, he had a weird sensation on his nasal area and lost his sense of smell.
However, on his 8th day of isolation, his COVID-19 results came back positive.
“SARS-CoV-2 (causative agent of COVID-19) viral RNA detected, so it’s positive right now. Fever na lang, yung loss of smell nare-regain ko na siya,” he said.
As of now, the actor is still in the process of completely fighting off the disease.
“Alam kong hindi normal yung nawala yung pang-amoy ko and I was counting na may kinalaman talaga yun sa COVID but I was praying na wala but it turns out… tutuloy lang natin mga sinabi sa ‘tin na kailangan gawin and we’ll get through this. We’ve been through worse. Sobrang nami-miss ko na yung pamilya ko.”
