Michael V. is on the way to recovery after contracting COVID-19.
The comedy actor gave a positive update on his health condition recently after announcing a couple of weeks ago that he tested positive for COVID-19.
In the “Chika Minute” segment of GMA News "24 Oras Weekend," the comedian said he is getting better now and his sense of smell is improving.
"'Yung pang-amoy ang nakakatawa, kasi may pang-amoy na ako... So hindi pa rin siya 100% pero at least," he shared. "Nu'ng isang araw nagluluto ng hamburger 'yung kasambahay namin, naamoy ko from this room. Pero nu'ng isine-serve na sa akin, nu'ng binigay na sa akin, hindi ko na maamoy from this distance. So magulo talaga.”
He also gave pieces of advice to patients who contracted the virus.
"Isa sa mga pangunahing contributor ng COVID is 'yung stress eh. So talagang dapat pagka nakaramdam ka, kapag may symptoms ka, nagpa-test ka at positive ka dapat gumawa ka ng paraan para hindi ka ma-stress during the time na naka-quarantine ka.”
Michael V. intends to donate blood plasma once he recovers from the disease.
"'Pag completely naka-complete na ako nu'ng 14 days I think the responsible thing to do is just that, mag-donate para makatulong sa ibang mga kababayan natin at makatulong sa siyensiya. Siguro kahit paano may maiambag 'yung plasma ko, 'yung dugo ko para makahanap ng gamot or lunas dito sa sakit na ito."
