PCOO chief Andanar says he has recovered from COVID-19

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said Saturday that he has fully recovered from coronavirus disease 2019.

“I am pleased to share that I have fully recovered from COVID-19 after undergoing a 14-day home quarantine,” Andanar said in a statement.

Late in March, the PCOO chief said he was been diagnosed with the disease. He said he was found positive for COVID-19 last March 27

“I thank the Lord for this blessing of being able to overcome the virus. I am also very grateful for my family, loved ones, and colleagues, among others, for all their support and prayers while I undertook my recovery,” Andanar said.

“Despite my clean bill of health, I will still observe another five days of voluntary quarantine to ensure the safety of those around me and those I will come into contact with,” he added.

The PCOO chief reminded everyone to observe all health protocols “for us to be on the road towards our collective recovery as a nation from this pandemic.” —Ted Cordero/LBG, GMA News
