Hindi na nagbigay ng iba pang detalye si Munsayac tungkol sa pagpanaw ni Alvarez.
Ilang linggo na ang nakalilipas nang kumpirmahin ng Department of Agriculture, na dating pinamunuan ni Alvarez, na malubha umano ang kalagayan sa ospital ng dating senador at asawa niyang si Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, dahil sa COVID-19.
Nitong nakaraang linggo, iniulat naman na sasailalim sa plasma therapy ang dating senador para makatulong sa kaniyang paggaling. --FRJ, GMA News
