Ronaldo’s message to those infected by coronavirus

Amid the rising deadly Coronavirus (COVID-19) scare, ace Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo on Friday issued a statement urging everyone to follow World Health Organisation's advisory issued to contain the virus.

The Juventus winger is currently under self-isolation as a precautionary measure.

Taking to social media, Ronaldo stated that the world is going through a very difficult moment which demands 'utmost care' and 'attention' from everyone.

“I speak to you today not as a football player, but as a son, father, a human being concerned with the latest development that is affecting the whole world,” he said.

“It is important we all follow the advice of WHO (World Health Organization) and the governing bodies on how we handle this current situation,” he cited.

Furthermore, in his statement on Friday, Ronaldo also stated that protecting human life must come above any other interests and expressed solidarity with his Juventus teammate Daniele Rugani who has been tested positive for Coronavirus.

"I would like to send my thoughts to everyone who has lost someone close to them, my solidarity to those who are fighting the virus, like my teammate Daniele Rugani and my continued support to the amazing health professionals putting their own lives at risk to help save others," wrote Cristiano in his Instagram post.
