Binay adds that she will still continue her self-imposed 14-day quarantine even though she has already tested negative for the virus.
“Hindi pa tapos ang laban natin kontra sa COVID-19 and we don’t want to have a false sense of security,” Binay added.
Senator Win Gatchalian also revealed that he tested negative for the virus.
“I am happy to hear from the pronouncements made by Health Sec Francisco Duque that I tested negative for the disease, thus I am ending my self-quarantine,” he said in a statement.
Gatchalian and Binay decided to isolate themselves after a resource person from one of their hearings tested positive for the virus.
