The lawmaker said on Thursday, they thought it was just an ordinary cough but they decided to undergo coronavirus swab test but when the result came out “Nagpositibo kami pareho (we were both positive)”.

As it is now, the children of the couple and everyone around the family has been isolated and have undergone swab test and they are awaiting the result, Hataman in a Facebook post stressed.

He also revealed that they have instituted measures to protect everyone in their house.

Here is some important portion of the Congressman’s post:

“Nagpapatupad na rin ng mas mahigpit na health protocols para ma-contain na ito at masiguradong hindi na tumawid pa palabas ng aming pamilya ang sakit. Maingat at mahigpit kaming sumunod sa safety measures.

Pati na rin sa sino mang nakakasalamuha namin dito. Pero heto pa rin ang aming situwasyon.

Tunay nga, sa ganitong mga panahon, magkakarugtong ang kalusugan at kapalaran nating lahat. Dalangin namin ang kaligtasan ng lahat.

Sama-sama din sana nating ipanalangin ang agarang tagumpay ng bansa laban sa pandemyang ito. Stay safe at maraming salamat.”-Newsline
