Ronaldo might have violated Covid-19 protocol- Italy’s sports minister
Cristiano Ronaldo might have violated Italian Coronavirus measures by travelling to Portugal while Juventus were in isolation, returning to Turin this week after testing positive, Italy’s sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora said on Thursday.
“Yes, i think so, if there were no specific authorization from the health authority. Ronaldo risks a fine after joining his national side last week despite Juventus being in isolation after two staff members tested positive.
The five time Ballon d’Or winner tested positive on Monday, the day after Portugal drew 0-0 with France in Paris, and returned to Italy on his private jet on Wednesday.
Juventus president Andrea Agnelli said Thursday that his club had respected sporting protocol, referring to the “Ministry of Health and the Interior” to find out which rules Ronaldo had broken.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Italy with a medical flight authorized by the competent health authorities at the request of the player and will continue his isolation at his home.
