Pia Wurtzbach is the latest fully vaccinated celebrity to test positive for COVID-19.
The former Miss Universe queen took to Instagram and shared her diagnosis.
'I caught COVID here in the UK even though I’ve been fully vaccinated & received my booster shot already. Kumpleto din ako ng flu & pneumonia vaccines," Pia said.
According to Pia she "eat healthy & I'm active, but I still got it." Added that she "got all the symptoms too. Fever, sore throat, body pain, runny nose, cough, & I also lost my sense of smell & taste."
"It’s not like a regular cold or flu that goes away after a few days. I’ve never been sick for this long, which lasted more than a week," she explained.
Pia, who's now recovering said that she and her sister is about to complete their isolation who also caught the virus. They both tested negative on their follow up test results.
She urged everyone to take the threat of the virus seriously, "being fully vaccinated doesn’t stop you from getting the virus but it helps you overcome it."
"Please follow health & safety protocols. I think it’s the moment you put your guard down, doon ka mahahawa. You think you’re safe & usually yung makakahalubilo mo walang symptoms. Akala mo all is well. Pero, nahawa ka na pala at may possibility na maipasa mo sa iba nang di mo alam."
"It seems easy for anyone to just break protocols & still go out even when they know they tested positive. Feeling nila, di sila mahuhuli or wala namang nagbabantay. I’ve personally seen other people do this. Meron pa diyan, may symptoms na & have the means to get tested pero ayaw nilang maconfirm na may COVID sila, tas lalabas parin. Naku, konsensiya niyo nalang yan. Konting personal accountability, please," she added.
Pia went to the UK to celebrate the holidays with her family.
