In a Twitter post, Valdez’s management group, V. Management Group announced the unfortunate news.

“After experiencing some mild symptoms and a confirmatory RT-PCR test, Alyssa tested positive for COVID-19.

“We’d like to thank those who have sent their well-wishes and prayers her way,” the agency’s statement read. “Please be rest assured that Alyssa is taking the necessary precautions and will be recovering from home.”

The former Ateneo standout retweeted the post of her management and was thankful for all the wishes.

“Thank you for all the well-wishes,” Valdez wrote on Twitter.
