Usain Bolt tested positive for coronavirus — but had no symptoms as of Monday morning — after taking a test on Saturday, Jamaica’s minister of health said.
Bolt has not publicly confirmed whether his test came back positive.
“It is now public knowledge that Mr. Bolt has been tested positive,” Dr. Christopher Tufton said Monday evening. “He has been formally notified, I’m told, by the authorities.”
Bolt addressed the test earlier Monday, when he was awaiting results.
“Just waking up, like everybody else, checked social media, saw that social media saying I’m confirmed to have COVID-19,” Bolt said.
