During the early days of the enhanced community quarantine, Joel attended to a patient who was still a suspected COVID-19 case at that time due to pneumonia.
A few days later, they learned that the patient died, and fear grew among the medical frontliners, especially as Joel started developing COVID-19 symptoms such as cough, fever, and colds.
Joel and his peers had a chance to get tested for COVID-19, and that's how he found out that he got infected with the disease.
Joel's battle with COVID-19 was tough as he tested positive for the disease three times.
But, fortunately, he was able to beat the disease and has decided to return to work as a medical frontliner, after a week of finally testing negative for COVID-19.
Although there's still great risk that comes with fulfilling his duties as a nurse, Joel said he feels proud to serve his countrymen.
Watch Joel's full story in Tunay Na Buhay's special online series 'Survivors' on their official Facebook page.
