Earlier, his driver complained of having flu-like symptoms, which is why when both he and Raffy arrived home, the radio anchor asked his driver to isolate himself.
The following morning, both submitted themselves to a COVID-19 swab test at the St. Luke’s Medical Center.
After a couple of hours, the test results came out with Raffy’s driver showing positive for COVID-19 infection.
Idol Raffy’s result, on the other hand, came out negative but to be safe, he decided to go on a 14-self-quarantine.
