Kris Aquino has tested positive for COVID-19 after being hospitalized a few days ago, according to a Philstar.com report based on updates she shared on Instagram.

The TV host-actress said she had been dealing with fever and an almost constant cough since last week. The update comes as she continues to manage her autoimmune illnesses, making the health news closely watched by fans.

In an Instagram story, Aquino shared a photo of an antigen test kit showing a positive COVID-19 result. She said she had been sick since leaving the hospital early Sunday, while her son Josh also began coughing earlier in the week.

Aquino also said she felt weak again after taking Methotrexate injectable chemotherapy, followed by fever. After learning that friend JC Buendia had been tested for COVID-19 during a recent hospitalization, she also took an antigen test.

She described sleep as a “lost luxury” because of her recurring evening coughing fits. For now, the update gives supporters a clearer picture of why Kris has been unwell, while fans continue to monitor her recovery. Ingat, Queen of All Media.
