One of the greatest Olympians of all time, Usain Bolt, has announced he is COVID-19 positive.
The news of Bolt testing positive for the coronavirus comes on the heels of his recent 34th birthday celebration, which culminated in a star-studded bashment in Jamaica.
The father of a new born baby girl, who is asymptomatic, seems to be paying with his health and may have risked exposure to his immediate family and his party guests.

According to the Miami Herald, “Jamaica Prime Minister Andrew Holness said Bolt will receive no special treatment and police are investigating reports that the world-record holder had flouted rules when he celebrated his 34th birthday at a Kingston sports complex on Friday. Several revelers shared images on social media of Bolt and others not wearing masks while dancing on an outdoor court to Koffee, a young Jamaican reggae artist. There were also reports that some of the well-known figures who flew in to celebrate Bolt’s birthday did not abide by Jamaica’s rule requiring them to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival.”
Can asymptomatic patients spread coronavirus? Here’s what a new study reveals.
“No one is going to be treated with any exemption or given any special treatment,” Holness said. “All Jamaicans have a duty, and of course, those who have the public ear and influence in the public spheres have an greater duty.”
According to Jamaica’s Ministry of Health, there are 1,612 positive cases and 16 deaths, with 29,724 Jamaicans currently in quarantine.
Over 1000 unruly people in Jamaica have been arrested and charged with breaking the country’s emergency measures, so should Usain Bolt be arrested?
Praying for Usain’s safe and speedy recovery.
