'If I can be positive — me who never went to any grocery... and a germophobe — can you imagine how many asymptomatic carriers are out there?' A woman from QC said she caught the deadly coronavirus even though she didn't leave her house since March 13.
MANILA - A woman from Quezon City said Saturday she caught the coronavirus disease 2019 despite observing strict quarantine measures.
"I even told the nurse , 'I’m sure I’m negative because I never left the house since March 13 and I have had zero contact with the outside world," she said in a Facebook post. "[April] 25 was the swab test, in 3-5 days before the results are out, on Wednesday night I got a call from my OB telling [me] the results," she recounted in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
Since authorities have placed Metro Manila on lockdown, Bekema has not had any exposure to the outside world - except for when her husband went out to do groceries two weeks before she got tested for the disease for the safety then of her baby. As of now, Bekema remains asymptomatic. But she said she does not discount the fact that she may experience more serious symptoms later on.
