"I made the conscious decision to isolate ourselves. We found a friend and she kindly allowed us the use of their spare room, separate from their family's area," she said on Instagram.

"Nag magandang loob na si Willie. Nakakahiya kung may mahawa pa sa masamang ubo and pneumonia ni Bimb," Kris said.

Kris said her prayers have been answered as Bimby's condition improved. "Hindi nagka-fever si Bimb. He took his 2nd dose of antibiotics, and okay ang appetite nya."

She said she's been awake all night taking care of Bimby.

"I've been awake 24 hours (all parents will understand me) nag-bantay ako to make sure nakatulog sya, no chills, and hindi hirap huminga."

Kris said her experience should serve as a reminder to everyone to not let their minor health worries get worse. "'Wag dedmahin ang ubo -- and let's care enough about the health of others to not risk their health."

She also shared she has been meticulous about hand washing and disinfecting their gadgets so she and Josh won't catch the virus, too.

"Constant hand washing helps a lot. The three of us are always together but because I have been strict about washing hands and disinfecting our gadgets, so far okay kami ni kuya."

Kris also mentioned she saw Josh having a text conversation with her brother, former President Noynoy Aquino.

"Kuya told him Bimb was sick. Nakaka-touch because Kuya Josh told his Tito Noy: I miss you and I love you so much... I saw the reply: love you, Josh."

She said that this is a reminder to all to "to tell everyone we care about how much they mean to us and how much we love them, whether we are near or far."

President Rodrigo Duterte placed Luzon on enhanced community quarantine to stem the spread of COVID-19. The Luzon-wide quarantine started on March 17 and will end on April 13.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), some of the symptoms include fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, aches and pains, sore throat, and very few people report diarrhea, nausea or a runny nose
