The 63-year-old actor said that his work in the entertainment industry could’ve exposed him to the virus.
“However, due to the nature of my work in the entertainment business, I have interacted with many people. I therefore ask anyone who has come in contact with me within the last week or two to observe stringent self-quarantine, observe for symptoms and follow the triage procedures published by the DOH, whether asymptomatic or not,” he said.
The actor appealed to the public to cooperate with authorities to prevent the virus spread.
