Eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt has tested positive for COVID-19, days after throwing himself a birthday party.
The 34-year-old Jamaican earlier revealed on his social platforms that he would be self-isolating whatever the outcome.
“Just to be safe, I’ll quarantine myself and just take it easy,” he said.
“I did a test on Saturday, because I have work,” Bolt added. “I’m trying to be responsible, so I’m [going to] stay in and stay here for my friends.
“Also I’m having no symptoms, so I’m going to quarantine myself and wait on the confirmation to see what is the protocol on how I should go about quarantining myself from the Ministry of Health,” he concluded.
The party was attended by a number of other sports stars, including footballer Raheem Sterling.
