Former Dublin hurler Mick Carton has revealed he has tested positive for coronavirus. Taking to Twitter from his hospital bed, Carton has issued a warning to stay vigilant about all the different symptoms of the contagious disease. "I had been self-isolating for a few days with flu-like symptoms, got tested and came back positive for Covid-19 on Saturday," he wrote. Last week, Simonstown Gaels GAA club, in Co Meath, confirmed that one of its adult players had tested positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile, Dublin is the latest county to postpone all club matches in April owing to the coronavirus outbreak.
