Argentina great Diego Maradona, who turns 60 on Friday, is self-isolating after a bodyguard started displaying coronavirus symptoms, local press reported on Tuesday. A bodyguard “woke up with Covid-19 symptoms and went into preventative quarantine until the relevant tests are carried out,” said sports newspaper Ole. Maradona, who has a history of drug and alcohol abuse and poor health, is considered at high risk of coronavirus complications should he be infected. Several weeks ago he went into self-isolation after one of his players contracted the coronavirus and last week he skipped training again. Argentina has recorded more than a million coronavirus cases amongst its 44 million population with 29,000 deaths.
