The former president, a COVID-19 survivor, is back in a regular room following his bout with a bacterial lung infection
On Monday, April 19, former Philippine president Joseph “Erap” Estrada marked another birthday in his life with good news: he has been moved out of the intensive care unit (ICU) following his bout with a bacterial lung infection.
His son, former senator Jinggoy Estrada, confirmed to Rappler that his father, now 84 years old, had been transferred to a regular room.
Erap was first moved out of the ICU on April 14 after testing negative for COVID-19, but Jinggoy said on April 16 that his father was transferred back to the ICU due to a bacterial lung infection.
Estrada was rushed to the hospital on March 28 after testing positive for the coronavirus. – Rappler.com
