Former President Joseph Estrada is now negative for COVID-19, his son, former Senator Jinggoy Estrada, announced on Tuesday.
"We are happy to announce that my dad continues to improve and we expect that he can be transferred to a regular room soon," Jinggoy posted on Facebook.
"His repeat RT-PCR (swab test) is now NEGATIVE!" he added.
Jinggoy said his father is still on high flow oxygen support but at a much reduced rate, and has been allowed to resume a soft diet.
At the same time, the former President is also oriented, conversing normally and "appears to be in good spirits," he added.
