Fortunately, her symptoms are gone and she is on her way to a full recovery.
The Miss Universe winner urged people, even those who have been vaccinated, to limit and minimize going outdoors and to be extra careful.
“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. I eat healthy & I’m active, but I still got it. I got all the symptoms too. Fever, sore throat, body pain, runny rose, 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.
“I’m one day away into completing isolation with my sister, @sarahwurtzbach who also caught it. We both tested negative already, thank God.
“The worst is through. I am recovering well. I am beyond grateful my parents are safe. Di sila nahawa sakin.
“Guys, COVID is so real. My timeline shows that many have/had it too, both in the Philippines & abroad. And the numbers are going up exponentially. Please take this seriously cos anyone can get it no matter how healthy you are. 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.
“Ang dami nang nagkasakit. I don‘t wanna sound preachy but let’s not be selfish & go breaking protocols, hoarding supplies, refusing to get tested & vaccinated.
“I hope we can start 2022 right. Let’s look after one other by getting those jabs, staying in isolation if needed, stop gathering in big groups, frequent hand washing, & please wear those masks properly,” Pia wrote on Instagram.
Pia Wurtzbach is a famous beauty queen, actress, and endorser in the Philippines. She rose to fame after she won the highly-coveted Miss Universe 2015 crown. She is currently in a relationship with Jeremy Jauncey.
She went viral due to her younger sister, Sarah Wurtzbach. The latter accused Pia of insulting her, for siding with their mother in their conflict, and for not being there for her when she needed emotional help.
However, Sarah urged netizens not to bash Pia Wurtzbach on social media after she posted those allegations against her. According to Sarah, bashing Pia online will not help their family resolve their issues with each other. Later on, Pia and Sarah were able to reconcile and settle their issues.
