Coronavirus catches up with Bolt

Sprint king self-isolating after testing positive following birthday party also attended by soccer star Sterling

Sprint legend Usain Bolt has contracted the coronavirus after last week celebrating his 34th birthday with a mask-free party that could also have implications for several other sports stars who attended.

Jamaica's health ministry confirmed late on Monday that Bolt had tested positive for the virus after the world-record holder had earlier in the day posted a video on social media saying he was self-isolating and waiting on his results.

It was reported that Bolt has since been notified of the results and contact tracing is underway.
