The coronavirus test showed a positive result, and now it is in quarantine. Everyone who contacted her was also forced to undergo an examination.

Athletes
6. Mikel Arteta
The head coach of Arsenal football club was not feeling very well. He immediately decided to take a coronavirus test. Mikel's worst fears were confirmed.

Renat Khamidulin confirmed that Strakhov is doing well.
4. Rudy Gober
The French basketball player has become a vivid example of the fact that you should not joke with fate. On March 9, at a conference, he was asked a question about coronavirus. Gober defiantly touched all the microphones of journalists, thus expressing contempt for the general panic. Other players on the team said that Rudy acted blithely. He did not take any action to protect himself from the disease, touched other people's things and was not afraid to communicate with people who came from the foci of infection. On March 12, a basketball player learned that his mild cold was nothing but a coronavirus. Ruby was not upset by this fact; he did not seem to intend to change his lifestyle and even intended to compete. It is sad that because of such a frivolous attitude of a basketball player, others could suffer. Everyone who has contacted Gober is being examined.
3. Daniele Rugani

Actors and writers
2. Luis Sepulveda
