Gretchen Fullido
“DON’T know, eh, it’s just everywhere,” ang sagot sa amin ni Gretchen Fullido, anchor ng “Star Patrol” ng “TV Patrol” nang tanungin namin kung saan siya nahawa ng COVID-19.
Isa si Gretchen sa mga celebrities na tinamaan ng COVID-19 noong Enero 3 base sa RT-PCR at antigen test kaya kailangan niyang i-isolate agad ang sarili.
Mahigit isang linggo nang naka-quarantine ang segment host kaya tinanong namin kung sino ang nag-aasikaso sa kanya dahil ang alam namin ay puro fur babies lang ang kasama niya sa bahay.
“I have food naman, delivery,” sambit ng news anchor.
Narito ang detalyadong kuwento ni Gretchen sa kanyang Instagram kung paano niya nalamang COVID-19 positive siya considering na kaka-booster lang niya nitong December, 2021.
Ipinost ng dalaga ang larawan at mga testing kit at mga kasama niya sa bahay, “Warning: Long & detailed COVID post ahead.
“Last January 3, I tested positive for COVID-19 (both RT-PCR & Antigen)
“I immediately went into isolation & prepared all the essential supplements and medicines that I need to take to strengthen my immune system for the days ahead.
“Note that I am fully vaccinated and got my booster shot last December.
(More on this later)
“Sharing what happened: Day 1-2:
“Sore & itchy throat
Headache
Cough
Colds – Runny nose
Felt feverish
Joint pain & fatigue
(I started drinking my supplements & meds right away when I tested [+] & when the symptoms showed up on day 1).
“Day 3-4:
Much improvement
No more headache
Cough & colds lessened
But my voice was hoarse
BRAIN FOG
Taste & smell became faint
(So, I just took it easy & just kept resting)
“Day 5
Almost all symptoms subsided
Very minimal cough
Taste & smell still faint
I experienced shortness of breath
(it was a little hard to talk on the phone & I was catching my breath but my Oximeter said my O2 levels were good) Overall, it was very manageable.
I even watered my plants & did light household chores.
“Day 6
Feeling much better than Day 5
“Day 7 (Today)
Feeling ok
My antigen test came out negative too
(But I will still stay in isolation for the next few days)
“Basta, the key is to rest… rest & rest (emoji praying hands) Eat healthy & hydrate.
“Even if I no longer have symptoms and I feel ok, completing the DOH 10 day isolation and quarantine protocol is a must. Make sure to get your doctor’s clearance if you can be released and to know if you are fit to work.
“I am so thankful that I am fully vaccinated and that I was able to get a booster shot too. VACCINES REALLY SAVE LIVES (praying hands emoji).
“Please get vaccinated & get a booster shot as soon as you can so we can protect ourselves & others.
“Let’s be responsible and compassionate to one another. Praying for healing & for everyone’s health and safety.
“Thank you to friends, family & my doggie babies who have been so encouraging & supportive. Love you all!
“Trust that better days are ahead Thank you, Lord!” pahayag pa ni Gretchen.
