When asked if de Leon is already cleared from the coronavirus, Solis said: “Meron pa rin siya. Kasi may sipon pa siya, pero maganda kasi 'yung recovery [signs] niya kaya pinauwi na siya kaya [lang] dapat naka-quarantine pa rin.”

Meanwhile, Solis also revealed that the COVID-19 test of de Leon’s wife Sandy Andolong came out negative.

Solis said de Leon was more concerned of his wife because she has a weak immune system being a kidney transplant patient.

De Leon announced last Tuesday that he tested positive for COVID-19, amid a pandemic that has put the Philippines under a state of calamity and the entire Luzon in lockdown.

The 63-year-old actor asked those who have "come in contact me within the last week or two to observe stringent self-quarantine, observe for symptoms and follow the triage procedures published by the DOH, whether asymptomatic or not."

De Leon is currently part of the ABS-CBN afternoon drama "Love Thy Woman." While the series continues to air episodes it has so far taped, it is one of the ABS-CBN programs that have indefinitely halted production due to COVID-19.
