Ex-senator Alvarez undergoes experimental COVID19 plasma treatment: children
MANILA - Former Philippine Senator Heherson Alvarez has undergone an experimental plasma treatment for the coronavirus disease 2019 , his children said Wednesday.
On Monday, Hex said his father was a candidate for the treatment as he sought prayers for all COVID-19 patients, and even for "frontliners bravely putting their lives at risk." In a social media post early last week, Hex quoted her sister to have said their mother was already extubated and was breathing comfortably.
Around that time, their father was also moved to the intensive care unit "where he can be closely monitored." While his x-ray results showed "some slight improvement," his condition was still critical.
