Bolt is widely recognized as the greatest sprinter to have ever lived.

He’s among the most prominent global figures to have contracted the Covid-19 virus as the pandemic continues to spread across the globe.

With Bolt having contracted the virus this means that a host of associates and friends are to be tested for Covid-19 given that the multiple world record holder attended a surprise party recently which was organized in commemoration of his birthday.

Manchester City star, Jamaica’s Raheem Sterling along with Reggae Boy and Bayern Bayern Leverkusen Winger, Leon Bailey, also attended the party.

Up to news time, several phone calls, text messages and an email sent by our news center to Bolt’s Manager, Nugent Walker, were not responded to.
