Former Kapag Nahati Ang Puso actress Sunshine Cruz admitted that she went through a denial stage after testing positive for the highly-contagious COVID-19 last month.

Sunshine, who got her RT-PCR result on March 27, thought she would be asymptomatic but unfortunately experienced some symptoms, which resulted to her taking some strong antibiotics to fight it off.

She recalled, “Unfortunately, I was exposed and tested COVID positive last March 27. When I got my RT-PCR result, I went through a denial stage.

“It took a while for reality to sink in, I thought I would be asymptomatic and would probably just isolate myself for 14 days to make sure that the people at home will be safe as well. But here I am still isolated with symptoms after already taking different kinds of strong antibiotics and medicines.”

Yesterday, April 14, the celebrity mom is on her 20th day of isolation. She is still stuck in her room to protect her kids and her kasambahays at home.

“It's my 20th day of isolation and as instructed by my doctor, I still can't leave my room not unless my symptoms are gone. I have three kids and our kasambahays that i have to also protect from myself.”

Sunshine ended her post by reminding everyone to take all necessary health precautions to protect themselves from contracting COVID-19.

“To everyone, COVID is real! In my 43 years of existence, I've had fever, the flu, and coughs but COVID symptoms can't be compared to what I've experienced before. I am still grateful and blessed that the worst is over.”

“I will be taking a swab test tomorrow and I am hoping, praying for a negative result. I am positive that I will test negative! Claiming it!🙏🏻

“Stay safe everyone, wear your masks, face shields and keep your distance, let us all do our part in being a solution to this very difficult pandemic we are facing. God bless us all!”
