The trade chief said that he is not aware as to where he could have possibly contracted the virus.
Lopez said that he only went to his office and stayed most of his time at home.
The trade secretary is not only the cabinet official who tested positive for the virus. Early this week, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque announced that he tested positive for the virus.
