ANKARA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 World No. 2 Simona Halep is in home quarantine after testing positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).<\/p>\n

\u201cHi everyone, I wanted to let you know that I tested positive for Covid-19,\u201d the Romanian said on Twitter on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am self-isolating at home and am recovering well from mild symptoms. I feel good… we will get through this together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Halep, 29, has won two Grand Slam singles titles in her career, with the first being the French Open in 2018 and then Wimbledon a year later.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Juventus’ Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has recovered from the Covid-19, the Italian football club said on Friday.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo, 35, underwent a swab test that “provided a negative result,” Juventus said on its website.<\/p>\n

It added that the Juventus forward recovers from the virus after 19 days and does not have to stay at home for isolation anymore.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo had tested positive for the novel coronavirus on Oct. 13, when he was in the Portuguese national team camp for his country’s UEFA Nations League match.<\/p>\n

Following the positive test result, the team captain missed the match against Sweden in Lisbon, which Portugal won 3-0.<\/p>\n

Then he traveled to Italy by an air ambulance for self-isolation.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo will be able to play for Juventus in Sunday’s Italian league match against Spezia if team manager Andrea Pirlo names him in the match squad.\u00a0(Anadolu)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
