Senator Sonny Angara tests positive for COVID-19

Senator Sonny Angara tests positive too for coronavirus or COVID-19.

He is the third senator hit by the virus following the announcement of Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri and Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III.

In a text message released by GMA News, the lawmaker shared that he has been feeling symptoms like mild fever and headaches.

It read: “I regret to announce that today, March 26, I received my test result and it is positive for COVID-19.

“I have been feeling some symptoms like mild fever, cough, headaches, and general weakness. I have not been in contact with the public since taking the test last March 16.

“I ask for your prayers that together we are able to pull through this tremendous challenge.

“Let us continue to support all efforts to fight the further spread of the virus. Let us support our frontliners on the streets, in the emergency rooms as they are key to the effort.

“With hope, sacrifice, and unity of effort, we shall overcome.”

Senator Angara, together with other senators, announced on March 12 that they will err on the safe side by undergoing self-quarantine after a resource person who attended a Senate hearing was found to have been afflicted with the coronavirus disease.
