It is widely reported by Jamaican media that Olympic hero, Usain Bolt has contracted COVID-19 just days after his huge surprise birthday party.
Bolt has confirmed he is self-isolating after getting tested for the novel virus but did not disclose his result.
The retired sprint king, who turned 34 on Friday, August 21, 2020, took to Instagram to update his 9.8million followers after reports circulated that he had tested positive.
Bolt confirmed he is displaying no symptoms of the virus but was due to travel so took a test.
Lying in bed, he said: “Good morning everybody. I’m just waking up and like everybody just checking social media and social media is saying I am confirmed to have Covid-19.
“I did a test on Saturday to leave because I have work. I’m trying to be responsible so I’m going to stay in and stay here for my friends.
“Also, I have no symptoms so I’m going to quarantine myself and wait on the confirmation to see what is the protocol.
“Until then… just to be safe I’m quarantined by myself, just to take it easy and just to let people know, be safe out there.”
