(Video) Usain Bolt Will Self-quarantining After COVID-19 Test Positive

Jamaican former sprinter, Usain Bolt says he will be quarantined on his own after undergoing a COVID-19 test amid reports that he is positive for the deadly virus.

In a video posted on his Twitter account, the sprint legend said he had no symptoms, but he urged his friends he had been in contact with to take precautionary measures.

“This weekend, like everybody else, I checked social media and saw social media say that I’m confirmed of COVID-19,” said Bolt.

“I did a test on Saturday to leave [Jamaica] because I have work,” he said, although he did not confirm he had received the result. “I am trying to be responsible so I am going to stay in and be safe,” he continued.

“Also, I am having no symptoms, I will quarantine myself and wait on the confirmation to see what is the protocol and to see how I go about quarantining myself from the Ministry of Health,” he said.

“Until then, I will call my friends and tell them once they came in contact with me to be safe, quarantine and take it easy,” added Bolt.
