Dingdong Dantes opens up on family's bout with COVID-19

Dingdong Dantes opened up about his family's COVID-19 experience on his Facebook page today, January 23.

The Kapuso Primetime King revealed that his family contracted the virus earlier in January.

"Two weeks ago finally nakakuha na ako ng booster shot and grateful ako na nakakuha ako ng slot sa city hall ng Paranaque. Kasi ang huling bakuna ko ay nung July pa. Saktong sakto, ready na talaga ako for the booster.

"Thankfully after that naging okay naman 'yung pakiramdam ko. 'Yung expected lang nasasakit siya kinabukasan pero after that the day after naging maayos na talaga," he shared.

Dingdong continued, "Pagkatapos ng ilang araw napansin namin na marami na ang hindi maganda ang pakiramdam sa kapaligiran namin, sa mga kapitbahay namin, sa bahay ng mga kamag-anak namin, ng mga magulang namin.

"Halos lahat ng mga kakilala namin mayroong positive case sa bahay hanggang sa halos lahat kami rito sa bahay nilagnat, nagkaroon ng sintomas. Kaya inisip namin mukhang ito na 'yun, mukhang nasama na kami sa surge."

Despite being tested positive for the virus, the actor was thankful that they only experienced mild symptoms.

"Nag-test kami at nag-positive sa COVID. Sa totoo lang hindi namin alam kung saan at paano kami nahawa. Mabuti na lang mild lang ang naging sintomas namin," he said.

Dingdong and his family are now recovered from COVID-19.

The actor shared his family's COVID-19 journey in the hopes that their experience will help others who are going through the same situation.
