Celebrity couple Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales-Muhlach have contracted the COVID-19 while in the United States, they both announced on Instagram.

According to Charlene, she started to feel several symptoms just before 2021 ended and just took over-the-counter medicines, which worked in the next couple of days.

“My symptoms started on Dec 30 & 31. After taking initial over the counter medicine, I felt OK for the next couple days but had continuous nausea & fatigue. I was testing negative during this time but isolated right away the moment I felt symptoms,” she explained on her social media account.

However, the beauty queen-turned actress felt sick anew on January 4. It was the same time when her husband Aga showed some symptoms of coronavirus too.

“We tested again & this time our tests came out positive. From then on, It was an up and down feeling of being sick & monitoring. One day you're OK... one day your not... but we are so happy that we are making our path towards recovery,” she said.
