Bolt says he’s seen the rumors on social media that he’s already tested positive — but suggests the reports are simply not true because he’s still waiting for the test results to come in.
The Olympic superstar says he’s shown no symptoms — but will stay away from people out of an abundance of caution.
The Olympic legend turned 34 on Friday — and his girlfriend, Kasi Bennett, threw him a massive bash to celebrate.
The concern … video purportedly taken at the event appears to show a bunch of people dancing close without wearing masks or taking any real precautions to avoid spreading the virus.
