Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio tested positive for COVID-19 Saturday night, her office said in its official Facebook account.

"Everyone who came in close contact with Mayor Sara in the last 14 days is hereby advised to self-monitor for symptoms and get RT-PCR tested five to seven days from your contact with her," a statement read.

According to a statement posted by the City Government of Davao, Duterte-Carpio “is in isolation caring for other family members who need medical attention” in the city.

Earlier in the day, Duterte-Carpio, who has rejected calls for her to run for president, thanked supporters for wanting her to aspire for the post.

(I may not have been in Sofitel, but you never lost hope and you kept your patience.)

Duterte-Carpio filed her certificate of candidacy for a third consecutive term as Davao mayor.
