Dalawang kandidata ng 69th Miss Universe beauty pageant ang nagpositibo sa sakit na COVID-19 habang naghahanda ang mga ito na lumipad patungo ng Florida sa US para sa prestihiyosong kumpetisyon.
Kapwa ibinahagi nina Miss Universe Argentina Alina Luz Akselrad at Miss Universe India Adline Castelino na nagpositibo sila sa virus, sa pamamagitan ng Instagram nitong Abril 12.
Ayon kay Miss Argentina sa kabila ng pagsunod sa necessary precautions, nagpositibo pa rin siya sa COVID. Narito ang kanyang post:
Content creator, 'di kinaya ugali ng dating Sang'gre sa concert ng BINI: 'Pipi na ba kayo?'
“My parents are at risk, my sister is a medical staff and because of the love we have for each other, we take great care of ourselves!
“Despite continuing to visit my social projects, celebrating the presentation of my book was always carried out with protocol measures. For me and out of respect for my loved ones.
“Unfortunately, despite taking care of us, it can happen to us and it happened to us! Although we are very sad, it is not the time to look for guilty .. Although inevitably the head goes to the past to see where and when it may have been.
“Last week I went with my mother to the supermarket and in the line at the checkout, behind us there was a man who coughed, his mask was wrong, with his nose out. My mom asked him if she could please respect the distance and put on the mask and he got offended and started saying a lot of offensive words to her. Since that day we isolate ourselves as a precaution, and after a few days we start with the symptoms.
“My dear Argentines, I only ask God to take care of me and allow me to get out of this, and with more force than ever .. I know that everything happens for something. Let’s work as a team, it is the only way that we will be able to win this game against the coronavirus! The universe awaits us! Today I need you more than ever.”
Pagbabahagi naman ni Miss India: “We need to be a symbol of strength in challenging times. Will get through this. Take care everyone. Wear your masks and follow government protocols.”
Ang kanyang post:
“Hi everyone!
“Recently I developed mild COVID like symptoms and unfortunately tested positive for the same.
“I have quarantined myself, and I am taking the necessary precautions to get better. If you have come in contact with me in the past week, I urge you all to please get yourself tested.
“I will fight my way through this, until then I request you all to wear your masks and follow government protocols.
“Stay safe!”
Sa ngayon, tatlong kandidata na ang nagpositibo sa virus.
Nitong Enero, nagpositibo rin si Miss Universe Malaysia Francisca Luhong James at naka-recover na.
“When I received the result, I guessed that it was my fault. But I did everything. I wore masks, sanitized and washed my hands, but it still happened,” pagbabahagi ng beauty queen sa IG.
“I was advised to self-quarantine at home because I was asymptomatic. Everything was fine. No fever, slight back pain and a bit of flu but other than that all good.”
“It wasn’t a good way to start the year, but I am good today. It’s my last day of quarantine. Thank you for all the positive messages, warm support and prayers,” saad ni Miss Malaysia.
Higit 70 kandidata ang inaasahang magpapatalbugan sa 69th Miss Universe beauty pageant na gaganapin sa Mayo 16 (Mayo 17 sa Maynila).
