President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is doing well after he tested positive for Covid-19 for the third time, Malacañang said on Wednesday.

Responding to Palace reporters' queries about his health, Communications Secretary Cheloy Garafil said, "(The President) is doing well."

"He has a scheduled teleconference this (Wednesday) afternoon," Garafil added, without giving details about the meeting.

The President, whose physician had urged him to isolate, "remains fit to carry out his duties and will be continuing his scheduled meetings via teleconference," according to a previous statement from Malacañang.

Marcos tested positive for Covid-19 for the third time. He had previously contracted the virus in 2020 and 2022.

"I was among the first to get Covid. It was not a walk in the park," Marcos said in his first speech as President on 30 June 2022.
