ODM’s Philip Etale tests positive again for Covid-19
By Mourice Seretta
The Orange Democratic Movement Party, (ODM) Communications Director Philip Etale has said that he is battling a second attack of Covid-19.
On a post on his social media platforms, Etale says his body was ‘acting funny’ with persistent dry coughs, blocked nose and headache which he thought was normal flu and bought medication over the counter but his condition worsened and upon going to hospital for check-up, it was discovered that the virus had again attacked him.
‘My body weakened by day forcing me to visit the Agakhan Hospital for tests. All tests turned negative. The doctor then advised me to go for Covid-19 test which I did and the result posted positive. My dear friends, this wave is serious. I lost sense of smell and appetite. The body aches are excruciating and unbearable. The headache is severe and the whole body is tired. The waist line is painful to the extend I can’t wake up to walk. My nights are painful with no sleep.’ Etale posted on his Facebook page.
Etale asks friends that it was no joke but luckily for him, his oxygen levels are above 90 which doctors says is good.
‘I therefore request to go off social media until that time I will have recovered from this monster. All I ask from you is prayers.’ Etale asked.
Etale was early this year diagnosed with the same.
