The coronavirus may have caught up with the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, who announced Monday that he is self-quarantining after being tested for Covid-19, as countries around the world again tightened lockdown measures.
Bolt, who did not confirm if he had received a result, spoke as governments around the world are tightening lockdowns once more, with well over 24 million people infected globally, 800,000 killed and a vaccine still elusive.

“I am trying to be responsible so I am going to stay in and be safe,” he said, adding that he had undergone the test on Saturday.
Eight-time Olympic champion Bolt, who holds the world 100m and 200m records, last competed internationally at the 2017 World Championships in London.
