Former president Joseph “Erap” Estrada was brought back to the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital where he’s currently confined after being diagnosed with a superimposed bacterial lung infection, according to his son former senator Jinggoy Estrada.
“We wish to announce that my father had a slight set back last night as his doctors found a superimposed bacterial lung infection,” the younger Estrada said in a Facebook post on Friday.
“He has been brought back to the regular ICU (non-COVID-19) for monitoring and support of his blood pressure which fluctuated due to the said infection,” he added.

He said his father is in a stable condition but with high flow oxygen support.
“Once again, we ask for your prayers for his immediate recovery and also to all those infected with COVID-19,” he said.
This came days after the former president has already tested negative for the coronavirus.
