Ronaldo, girlfriend break self-quarantine after 40 days
Dressed down in a tan hooded jacket, with black shorts, white trainers and a black sports cap worn backwards, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was advised to self-isolate after his teammate, Daniele Rugani, tested positive for coronavirus, came out for fresh air along with his girlfriend and two children after forty days in self-quarantine.
This came actually two days after Georgina had paid tribute to her husband, 35, calling him a hero, in an Instagram massage in her native language as she had marked Spain and Portugal’s Father’s Day. The message read: "By your strength and courage you will always be our HERO. By protecting us at night and by day you will be our GUARDIAN ANGEL. For the moments of joy you will be our SPECIAL FRIEND.
"For that great love that you give us, for your example and support, you will always be for us, THE MOST IMPORTANT AND THE BEST OF MEN. WE LOVE YOU DAD. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ # Happy Father's Day @cristiano. Congratulations to you too dad."
Many athletes and football stars have self-quarantined as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage across the globe and governments take stricter measures against it. Still adhering to social distancing measures, the stars, however, have kept their social contact through social media by posting videos showing them in self-quarantine. The same case was with the Portuguese star, who also shared a video on Instagram in which he taught his children how to prevent infection, of course until Saturday, March 18, that he broke his self-quarantine, seen with his partner and two children out for a stroll.
As statistics show, there has been a rise both in the number of infections and deaths caused by the coronavirus in Portugal: Up until now the number of deaths and infections has risen by 31% and 21% respectively, translating to 100 deaths and 5170 more infections in the country. Last Thursday, the Portuguese government, declared a state of emergency for 15 days to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus, with the Prime Minister, Antonio Costa, asking people to remain in their homes, ordering the closure of borders with Spain, and also the closure of ‘non-essential’ shops.
However, there is no mandatory quarantine in the country. The reason, as explained by the Portuguese prime minister, is that the government wants to keep the economy running while still doing something to keep the health of its citizens, too. All in all, although the current measures in the country have not brought the situation fully under control, they have put it in the manageable region for the health system.
