Former Brazilian soccer star Ronaldinho contracted COVID-19, though is asymptomatic, he announced on Instagram on Sunday.
The former Brazil and Barcelona star is currently in isolation at a hotel in Belo Horizonte, Brazil — where he was set to attend an event.
“I’ve been here in BH since yesterday, I came to participate in an event,” he said in an Instagram video, via Goal.com. “I took the test and tested positive for COVID. I’m fine, asymptomatic, but we’ll have to leave the event for later. Soon we will be there together. Big hug!”
Ronaldinho and his brother, Roberto de Assis, were released from custody in Paraguay in August following their arrest for entering the country with fake passports in March.
