MANILA, Philippines — More senators said they will undergo self-quarantine after a resource person, who tested positive for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), attended a hearing last week in the Senate. Senator Imee Marcos confirmed to INQUIRER.net that she will undergo self-quarantine as she is “often near” Senator Sherwin Gatchalian. He has decided to undergo self quarantine after interacting with the Senate resource person who later tested positive for COVID-19. “Bilang pag-iingat, kahit na wala akong anumang sintomas, nagdesisyon po akong mag voluntary quarantine umpisa kagabi (As a precautionary measure, even though I don’t have any symptoms, I decided to undergo voluntary quarantine since last night). Senator Francis Tolentino will reportedly undergo self-quarantine as well.
