Celebrities and personalities who have recovered from COVID-19

According to Angara, he found out that he contracted the disease anew, when he was preparing to donate his plasma for the second time.

"It has been close to one month since I recovered from COVID-19.

"But while preparing to donate my blood plasma for a second time, my doctors, after the results of the initial antibody test taken before donating, had me take another swab test, which registered positive.

"My wife Toosty has tested negative, which could be proof of what doctors are positing that I am probably no longer infectious and that this latest test result is probably picking up remnants of the virus."

The senator first donated his plasma in a QC hospital on April 13.

Studies show that plasma of recovered COVID-19 contains antibodies that could help treat patients suffering from the same disease.

Mr. Angara added that this news is disheartening, since he will have to be isolated from his family again.

"It was hard being isolated from my family before when I tested positive... Now I'm back in isolation.

"I am hopeful that soon our lives will return to normal."

Meanwhile, he also thanked all the frontliners for all their service and asked everyone to follow quarantine rules and practice safe distancing.

"Once again I wish to thank all our frontliners, especially the healthcare workers.

"To our kababayans, let us continue to observe quarantine rules and continue taking precautions like safe distancing, washing hands and wearing masks."
