KINGSTON, Jamaica —

Retired sprint star Usain Bolt says he is awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test and has placed himself in self-quarantine.

In a video posted to social media a short while ago, Bolt said he got tested on Saturday in preparation to leave the island for a business trip.

He noted that he is not currently experiencing any symptoms; however, he has placed himself in quarantine while he awaits the results of the test.

“I am going to quarantine myself and wait on the confirmation to see what is the protocol and how I should go about quarantining myself,” Bolt said.

He urged Jamaicans to stay safe.

Bolt celebrated his 34th birthday with a lavish party on Friday.

The party was well attended by a host of celebrities including sports stars and entertainers.
