“Kagaya nu'ng iba, hindi naman ganu'n kahirap 'yung nangyari sa akin.

“Luckily dito lang ako sa bahay nag-quarantine and dito ko lang tinapos sa bahay 'yung treatment ko and after a few weeks, ito na nga, 100% COVID free,” he shared.

He also said that he was convinced that he contracted the virus because he lost his sense of smell, a significant symptom of the virus.

“'Yung pang-amoy ang nakakapraning. Hindi talaga ganu'n kadaling tanggapin kasi parang 'yun 'yung naging sign for me na mayroon ako. 'Yun 'yung nagpatunay sa akin na nagkaroon ako ng COVID,” he said, adding, “Du'n kami naiyak ng asawa ko.”

After a few weeks of quarantine and medication, Michael V recovered from COVID-19 and over the course of a few days, he has regained his sense of smell.

“Unti-unti siya in my experience. Tapos may mga nabasa ako online na parang pwede mong gawing mga exercises para bumalik 'yung pang-amoy mo.

“Mayroon kang mga prutas…basta iba't ibang klase ng amoy na aamuyin mo para ma-retrain 'yung sense of smell. I think kasama du'n 'yung lemon, rosemary,” he said.

The comedian announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 in YouTube channel in July. He then shared on August 10 that he was declared virus-free on August 10.
