The Actress Iza Calzado tested positive for the novel coronavirus, as her manager Noel Ferrer said in an Instagram post, March 28. Ferrer said Calzado got her test results on Friday, March 27. "She is recovering well as she was aggressively treated for pneumonia and the virus. She can actually breathe now without any oxygen assistance," said Ferrer. COVID-19 is the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Calzado earlier announced through her Instagram page that she had been hospitalized due to pneumonia. Ferrer also thanked "the frontliners who continue to risk their lives to attend to our kababayans like Iza." The entire Luzon is still under lockdown as national government's strategy to slow down the spread of the virus. Several private and public hospitals in Metro Manila are already at full capacity for COVID-19 patients.
