In a post made on Instagram, the actress shared that she and her husband, Art Atayde, were experiencing “chills and shortness of breath” last March 24.

She recounts, “We were made to take the COVID-19 swab test and since then, Art and I have self-isolated.

“A week later, we finally received the results and we both came out positive for COVID19."

She also requested people who have had a close contact with her prior to enhanced community quarantine to self-monitor.

“We would like to request those whom we saw prior to the community quarantine to monitor for symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, fever, LBM and sore throat," she said.

Right now, according to Sylvia, "Art and I are getting better each day. Although this is slower than our usual recovery, we know that with prayers and strict compliance with our doctor's orders, we will get there.

“Until then, we will keep you updated on how this progresses. Stay safe, healthy and take your 1000mg of vitamin C and 20mg of zinc daily! Most importantly, stay home to help prevent the spread of the virus”
