Aga Muhlach and his wife, beauty queen Charlene Gonzalez, have tested positive for COVID-19 in the United States, but said that they were now on the “path towards recovery.”
Gonzalez told fans about her condition by showing herself and Muhlach alongside medical workers on her Instagram page yesterday, Jan. 12.
“Aga and I tested positive for COVID-19 while in the USA. Thank God we are all fully vaccinated,” she said. “Andres (Gonzalez’s son) was with us during the holidays. He is fully vaccinated [and] he isolated right away. Andres tested negative in his PCR test, has no symptoms, was cleared by the doctor and was able to make it back to school safely in Spain.”
Gonzalez started experiencing symptoms such as nausea and fatigue around Dec. 30, 2021. She initially took over-the-counter medicine to help her feel better and started isolating right away.
“I was testing negative during this time but isolated right away the moment I felt symptoms. On [Jan. 4 to 5], I felt sick again [and] this is when Aga started to get symptoms,” she narrated. “We tested again [and] this time, our tests came out positive.”

“Sa lahat ng mga kababayans natin (To all our fellow Filipinos), I pray for everyone’s safety [and] speedy recovery for all that may be going through the same experience,” she addressed the public.
