I tested positive for SARS-COV-2 (causative agent for COVID-19). I was confined at Jose B. Lingad Memorial Regional  Hospital located at San Fernando, Pampanga from July 28 2021 up to Aug 15 2021. I was diagnosed with Covid-19 Mild Pneumonia and Hereditary Sperocythosis (disease that affects the red blood cells) on which I have to go Bone Marrow Aspiration.
