Manila Mayor Isko discharged from hospital after COVID-19 bout
MANILA, Philippines — Manila Mayor Isko Moreno was discharged from the Sta. Ana Hospital after testing positive for COVID-19.
Moreno posted photos of him leaving the hospital’s Infectious Disease Control Center on Wednesday morning.
“Tomorrow is my 11th day. No more symptoms,” he told reporters in a message in Filipino on the eve of his discharge.
Julius Leonen, Manila Public Information Office chief, said Moreno will still undergo “more or less three days isolation.”
The Manila mayor announced he tested positive for the coronavirus on August 15. On the same night, he was confined at the Sta. Ana Hospital after reporting having mild cold, cough and body malaise.
