As he is no longer exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. could be removed from isolation by Friday, according to his camp on Wednesday.

According to Dr. Samuel Zacate, the president’s personal doctor, Marcos Jr. has improved by the sixth day of his seclusion, according to press secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles, “no cough, no fever, no nasal stuffiness, and no nasal itchiness and basically asymptomatic as of this time being.”

“The president’s vital signs are all within normal limit. He has no signs of respiratory distress and [is] very comfortable,” Cruz-Angeles said, quoting the president’s latest health bulletin. 

Marcos Jr. just tested positive for COVID-19.

If he doesn’t exhibit COVID-19 symptoms over the next 24 hours, Marcos Jr. can be taken out of isolation on Friday, July 15.

Angeles says, “If all the aforementioned conditions as stated in the DOH Protocol are met, the President will be given a Certificate of Home Isolation by Dr Zacate. Until then, he will be closely monitored by his lead physician,”
