Hi, guys. It’s Tuesday afternoon here. I’ve said in my previous post that my dad has Covid-19 virus. Since he has it, we have to be tested, too. The barangay official told us to wait for their call and it’s been days. I really do hope they’d come sooner so we’d know if we have it or not. How are you guys doing? Hope all is good!

I hope your father doesn’t have a bad case and is feeling well. Too bad you are still waiting to be tested. I’d want to know, too.

@freelancermariagrace Glad to hear your dad is doing better, but why such a long wait to get a quick test?

@freelancermariagrace that's really long. How long do they need to do the test? It's been days. If someone going to die, they'll die first.

Health wise were all okay but financially we are a bit problematic because my niece mother in law who is confined in an ICU in one of our hospitals here in my city cannot be transferred to a regular ward because they are required to pay 80% of the total hospital bill.

Sorry to hear that your dad has it. I think if you were swabbed it only takes 24-36 hours before the results get out. I hope your dad has isolated himself from everyone and take necessary precautions not to be in contact with everyone. Stay safe over there.

Yes, he has isolated himself. We are waiting to be tested, still.

They seem to be too slow to update the patients regarding the swab test result.

Yes, because of the number of cases.
