Cristiano Ronaldo — arguably the most famous athlete in the world — has tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Portuguese Football Association.
He’s reportedly already been sent away from the team so he can self-quarantine at his home.
The PFA issued a statement saying Ronaldo “is doing well, without symptoms.”
Ronaldo’s teammates were all retested after CR7’s positive result — with no new positives. The rest of the team will continue to train as usual to prep for Wednesday’s game against Sweden in Portugal.

No one in the photo is wearing a mask or social distancing.
