Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso was admitted at Sta. Ana hospital for isolation and monitoring after tested positive for mild COVID-19.

His doctor said Monday, the local chief executive was experiencing cough, colds and body pains.

“Lab tests were taken, and the initial findings of his chest CT Scan result is normal,” Dr. Grace Padilla, director of the Sta. Ana Hospital, said in a statement.

“He is maintained on oral antibiotics and vitamins as supplements. He is stable, comfortable and sleeping well,” she added.

Mayor Moreno has no fever, the doctor added.

Manila Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna, who was confined in the same hospital for COVID-19 last week, “is on her way to recovery,” Padilla said.

“The medical specialists and nursing team will be in close supervision,” she said.

Domagoso and Lacuna are both fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Lacuna, a doctor, was the first Manila resident who received the COVID-19 vaccine in March. Domagoso was inoculated against the virus in April.

The Manila mayor’s close contacts are now in isolation.

They are expected to be tested for COVID-19 after 6 to 7 days as per the guidelines of the Department of Health, the source said.

As of Sunday noon, Manila City has 1,485 active cases out of the 71,600 total recorded since the start of the pandemic.
