President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has urged the public to take care of their health as he tested positive for Covid-19 for the third time, Malacañang said Tuesday.

Marcos will be in isolation for five days, the Presidential Communications Office said. "The President remains fit to carry out his duties and will be continuing his scheduled meetings via teleconference," it added.

In March 2020, Marcos tested positive for Covid for the first time. To show that he was okay, he had himself photographed resting in bed, holding up the day's copy of Daily Tribune. He got Covid again in July 2022.

The PCO said the latest information on the president's health would be shared as it became available.

To protect their health, President Marcos advised Filipinos to get vaccinated and wear masks in public.

Shortly before this, Marcos led the Office of the President's Family Day celebration over the weekend.

While in isolation, Marcos Jr. signed two priority bills into law, the Public-Private Partnership Code of the Philippines and the Internet Transactions Act of 2023.

According to Malacañang, Republic Act 11966, or the PPP law, would "establish a stable and predictable environment for collaboration between the public and private sectors to address the gaps in the infrastructure systems and also free up much-needed resources to enable the government to pursue other equally important projects and initiatives."

Republic Act 11967, or the Internet Transactions Act of 2023, is seen to help the country embrace digital commerce by helping uphold fair business practices.
