“President Duterte and I will undergo testing for COVID-19. We are not doing this because we have symptoms of COVID-19; We are doing this to ensure that we are fit and healthy, to engage the public and perform our duties in the coming days and weeks. As always, the President and I remain ready to serve and die for the Filipino people,” Go said in a statement.
Go said that it is only prudent if he and the President will be tested for the virus.

“Considering that some Cabinet members we engage with regularly have been exposed to individuals who were tested positive of COVID-19 and have decided to undergo self-quarantine, it is just prudent for us to take precautionary measures in compliance with the advice of our health officials,” he added.
