Sylvia Sanchez confirms positive for COVID-19

1 Apr – Sylvia Sanchez recently confirmed that she and husband Arturo Atayde have been tested positive for COVID-19.

The actress shared the news on social media, saying that both she and her husband were brought to Cardinal Santos on 24 March after she experienced chills while her husband had cough and shortness of breath.

"We were made to take the COVID-19 swab test and since then, Art and I have self-isolated. A week later, we finally received the results and we both came out positive for COVID19," she wrote.

The "Ang Pamilya Ko" star also asked those who have been in contact with them in recent days to monitor themselves and get checked.

Nonetheless, Sanchez assured that she and her husband are doing fine.

"Although this is slower than our usual recovery, we know that with prayers and strict compliance with our doctor's orders, we will get there. Until then, we will keep you updated on how this progresses," she said.

Sanchez is the third celebrity to have been tested positive for the coronavirus following Christopher de Leon and Iza Calzado.
