Actress and YouTube vlogger Alex Gonzaga revealed in an October 23 vlog that she had contracted the coronavirus, along with her parents, her fiancée Mikee, and household member Sophie.
Her Youtube vlog My Covid Journey was released 3 weeks after her last COVID-19 exposure. She shared that she has since recovered from the virus, and also took her followers through her days-long home quarantine.
She revealed that the “coronavirus outbreak” in her household came from the “recklessness” of an unnamed person who dined out for a few hours, came back, and spread the virus in her home.
The first to contract the virus was Alex’s mother and father, who were both asymptomatic. Alex, however, suffered the early symptoms of weakness, slight fever, sore throat, loss of appetite, clogged nose, and loss of taste.
“Day 3 of quarantine, I started to realize that we really got COVID and all our family plans and life milestone will be delayed,” Alex said in tears. She mentioned that her plans to get married in an intimate ceremony in October, as well as to join taping for Lunch Out Loud, had to be put on hold indefinitely.
As the days went by, Alex documented the progression of her symptoms, her time inside the house, and her coping mechanisms. She also shared that sister Toni Gonzaga – whom she met the weekend before her diagnosis – and Toni’s family tested negative for the virus.
At the end of the video, Alex said that she’s thankful that her parents are okay, and did not suffer the symptoms she had. After their two-week home quarantine, Alex’s results came out negative.
“We survived COVID, that is why we are very blessed that we survived it and won. God healed us,” she said, teary-eyed.
“I’m very very happy that we are one of the many people who survived COVID as a family,” she added.
She reminds her viewers to be “extra, extra careful,” not to panic, and that they can “survive COVID-19.”
“Consult doctors. Take good care of your body, boost your immune system , take lots of vitamins, always gargle, take a lot of rest, and start quarantine immediately once you know that a person you’ve came in contact with is positive,” she said. – Rappler.com
