Roommates, following a recently crowded birthday party, Olympic-winning track star Usain Bolt was rumored to have contracted COVID-19. As speculation began to spread about his current health, Usain took to social media to post a video and let fans know exactly what’s going on.
Fans of multi Olympic Gold medalist Usain Bolt, were very concerned for his health following his surprise birthday party in his home country of Jamaica that was heavily attended.
After videos of the party were posted on social media, many were instantly concerned that Usain had possibly contracted COVID-19 because no one at the party was wearing masks or social distancing.
Once he became a top trending topic, Usain posted a video to his Instagram account to give everyone an update on his health. He confirmed that he did indeed take a test following the party and as a result, he is currently self-quarantining until he receives his test results.
Usain addressed public concerns for him, saying:
“I’m just waking up, and like everybody else I checked social media, [which] is saying I am confirmed to have COVID-19. I am trying to be responsible, so I am going to stay in and stay here for my friends.”
He also explained the steps he will be taking for the next few weeks. “I’m having no symptoms so I am going to quarantine myself and wait on the confirmation, to see what is the protocol and how I should go about quarantining myself. Until then, I am talking to all my friends and telling them anyone who has come into contact with me should, just to be safe, quarantine by themselves and just take it easy,” he said.
