Vice President Leni Robredo said that she tested negative for the coronavirus after being exposed to a patient who tested positive for the virus.
Robredo said she was immediately quarantined and later took a COVID-19 test.

Robredo was also placed under quarantine in April after her security detail tested positive for the virus.
The vice president did not mention where she got exposed to the COVID-positive patient. However, it was on July 23 when she finished her NagaVax Express project, where around 6,715 got their single-dose Janssen vaccines within a span of 48 hours.
Robredo is scheduled to take her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine this August 11.
Earlier this week, Metro Manila will be placed under the Enhanced Community Quarantine again starting August 6 as announced by Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roaue.
ECQ is the strictest form of lockdown imposed to curb the spread of the virus.
ECQ in Metro Manila will be from August 6-20.
