The jamaican Usain Bolt, the best sprinter in history, has tested positive for coronaviruslocal media reported this Monday. Bolt, according to the ‘Jamaica Observer’, celebrated her 34th birthday last Friday with a party in style and had taken the test as she was preparing to travel abroad for business. The athlete has isolated himself at his residence.

Bolt’s positive comes amid an increase in infections in Jamaica, with 116 new cases in 24 hours this Sunday, which represents a record increase in a single day. The total number of confirmed positive cases is 1,413 and the number of deaths is 16. Its population is 2.9 million people.

The authorities attribute part of the increase to the meetings and festivities that took place the first week of August when the independence of Jamaica was commemorated.

In April, Bolt brought out his humorous streak to illustrate the social distancing that the COVID-19 pandemic forces with a photo of his victorious arrival in the 100-meter Olympic final in Beijing 2008, with a great advantage over his rivals.

The photo reflects the particular “Social distancing” (social distancing) that Bolt maintained in his good days with his rivals on the track. The graphic message of the world record holder for 100 and 200 meters then spread rapidly on social networks.

Bolt, retired from the slopes after the London World Cups in 2017, collaborated in a global campaign that recommends staying home due to the coronavirus pandemic, posting videos in which he appears practicing physical exercises at home with a soccer ball, a sport to which he is very fond of.

In May Bolt and his partner, Kasi Bennett, welcomed their first daughter, Olympia Lightning Bolt. Usain Bolt is still the fastest man in history. He holds the world records for 100 and 200 meters, with times of 9.58 and 19.19 seconds, respectively.
