translated from Spanish: After a hug with a infected man, Maradona was isolated by COVID

After learning about the positive case of Nicolás Contín, a Gimnasia de La Plata player, Diego Maradona was isolated for prevention because on Tuesday, when the friendly against San Lorenzo was played, Contín greeted with a kiss and a hug to Maradona, who had the beard misplaced, under his nose. His personal physician, Leopoldo Luque, revealed: “He continued to test positive, but Maradona took all the steps he had to take. It was a quick contact in an open environment. Likewise, on Monday we will swab it and, in addition, we advise you not to go to the match tomorrow (friendly against Independiente)”.
He added of his conduct with the players: “Diego has a lot of affection and is prone to wanting to hug everyone. Now it’s okay, wanting to work and go back to training. His life is very public and being Maradona is not easy, but he is very well.” A few days ago, He continued to lose his taste and smell and underwent a CORONAvirus PCR exam. Currently, the player is symptom-free and monitored by the institution’s doctors. Later, Diego posted an affectionate message on the nets: “Tank dear, only you and your family know what they’re going through now. I think of you. Strength”

Finally, Luque explained: “We give him all the tools. When Diego decides he wants to be okay, he employs everything perfectly. Now, when he doesn’t want to be well, he doesn’t listen to us much,” about the behavior of ’10.
