Multiple-Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt, says he is awaiting his COVID-19 test result.

The sprinter made this known in a video obtained via his Twitter handle on Monday.

This is contrary to viral reports that he had tested positive for the virus.

He said his status was yet to be confirmed officially after he took a COVID-19 test on Saturday.

Bolt said he is asymptomatic but would be spending time in self-isolation as a result of the news he read on social media.

“I woke up like everybody else, checked social media, and saw where it was saying that I am confirmed to have COVID-19. I am still awaiting confirmation from doctors so as to know the protocols.

“I have no symptoms but I will be keeping away from everyone. I urge you to keep safe,” he added.

This is coming a few days after partying with guests, including England star Raheem Sterling for his 34th birthday in Jamaica.
