Swashbuckling West Indies opener Chris Gayle, who reportedly attended legendary sprinter Usain Bolt's birthday party in Jamaica, has tested negative for COVID-19 and now is all set to leave for the UAE for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to several media reports, Gayle was one of the members who attended Bolt's 34th birthday party. However, the left-hander batsman tested negative twice for COVID-19 post the incident and will be leaving for UAE to joing his Kings XI Punjab teammates ahead of the IPL season starting September 19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Couple days ago. 1st COVID-19 test...Before travel I need 2 negative test," Gayle's Instagram story said. In another post, he wrote, "The last one went a bit too far in my nose. Phew. Result was negative."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I'm going to stay home for 2020... not gonna travel again...nah sah! Tan a mi yard!! Keep the change! Excuse me! (sic)" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Bolt, who has been tested positive for COVID-19, posted a video on social media on Monday saying he is self-isolating himself at his home, even though he is not showing any symptoms at the moment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Good morning everybody I'm confirmed of COVID-19. I did a test on Saturday," Bolt said. "(I'm) trying to be responsible so I'm going to stay in, and stay away from my friends. And also, I am having no symptoms, so I am going to quarantine myself. And will wait and see what is the protocol and how should I go about quarantining myself, from the ministry of health."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Just to be safe, I have quarantined myself, and just to take it easy. Be safe over there. Alright, cool," he added.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Chris-Gayle-11.jpg", "alt_img": "Chris Gayle ", "alt_title": "Chris Gayle ", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Chris Gayle Dodges COVID-19, Tests Negative After Bolt's Party: Report On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Swashbuckling West Indies opener Chris Gayle, who reportedly attended legendary sprinter Usain Bolt's birthday party in Jamaica, has tested negative for COVID-19 and now is all set to leave for th", "seo_keywords": "Usain Bolt, Chris Gayle ", "tag": "", "tagging": "Usain Bolt,Chris Gayle ,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "chris-gayle-dodges-covid-19-tests-negative-after-bolts-party-report", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "1592", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2020-08-25 15:06:08", "updated": "2020-08-25 15:06:08", "img_from": "Chris Gayle ", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "Chris Gayle ", "livescore_text": "", "livescore_link": "", "btn_text": "", "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2020-08-25 15:06:08", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2020-08-25 15:06:08", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/chris-gayle-dodges-covid-19-tests-negative-after-bolts-party-report-63231" }
