UFC bantamweight contender Marlon Moraes is the latest athlete to confirm a positive test for COVID-19.
The Brazilian revealed the news on Tuesday after both he and his wife came down with symptoms related to the deadly disease. According to Moraes, his wife actually had to be admitted to a local hospital but it appears the biggest danger from the virus has already passed.
“Unfortunately, I got the virus — me and my wife,” Moraes told ESPN in Brazil. “We were very weak, the symptoms were very strong on us. Thank God I didn’t need to go to the hospital, but I had to take my wife to the hospital.
