The first sensational quarantine breach happened in May. Boris Johnson’s top advisor Dominic Cummings left his London apartment despite signs of corona infection and drove to his parents in Durham, more than 400 kilometers away in north-east England.
US President Donald Trump attracted massive criticism with a short excursion at the beginning of October two days after his admission to the clinic. In the evening, he let himself be driven in an off-road vehicle past trailers that had gathered in front of the hospital. The White House defended Donald Trump’s action, arguing that it had been classified as safe by the medical team.
Last week there was a cinematic quarantine escape in sports. US tennis player Sam Querrey wanted to play the tournament in St. Petersburg, but had to go to quarantine for two weeks in the luxury player’s hotel in St. Petersburg because of a positive coronavirus test, including the family. When the Russian health authorities threatened to take him to a hospital, the 33-year-old flew with a private jet including his wife and eight-month-old son.
There was also a stir around the Juventus players. They were in team quarantine because there were two positive cases within the team. But the soccer stars traveled to their respective national teams. Next Ronaldo left too Dybala, Bentancur, Danilo and Square Italy. They were all reported to the public prosecutor’s office by the Turin health authorities and received a fine. The fine for the multimillionaires: 400 to 1,000 euros.
Cristiano Ronaldo was promptly tested positive a week ago in the team hotel of the Portuguese national team and went into quarantine there. The five-time world footballer flew back to Italy early – but in an ambulance jet.
