After Rafael Nadal, his coach Carlos Moya tests positive for COVID-19
Following Rafael Nadal's recent COVID-19 diagnosis, his coach Carlos Moya has unfortunately tested positive for the virus as well. Moya took to Twitter to confirm the news, saying he had tested positive after landing in Mallorca. While his initial results were negative, a second PCR test confirmed a positive result.
"Hello everyone, I wanted to tell you that I have also tested positive for COVID. On Sunday, upon landing in Mallorca and with some symptoms, I tested negative for antigens. A few hours later, when a positive was confirmed in the equipment, I went to do pcr and I tested positive," Moya said.
Buenas a todos,quería deciros que yo también he dado positivo por COVID.El domingo,al aterrizar en Mallorca y con algunos síntomas,di negativo en test de antígenos.Unas horas más tarde,al confirmarse un positivo en el equipo,fui a hacer pcr y di positivo.
Moya stated that he's fully vaccinated and feels quite well.
"I am vaccinated with 2 doses and the symptoms have been quite strong in the last 24 hours, although without having to go to the hospital, now much better, I hope the worst is over."
Estoy vacunado con 2 dosis y los síntomas han sido bastante fuertes en las últimas 24 horas,aunque sin necesidad de ir al hospital.Ahora ya bastante mejor,espero que lo peor haya pasado.
Moya warned people about trusting antigen test results even if symptoms are mild.
"Be careful on these dates, do not trust only the antigen result if it is negative, nor that the symptoms are mild, in my case it has not been like that and many of those I know the same."
Id con cuidado en estas fechas,no os fiéis solamente del resultado de antígenos si es negativo,ni tampoco de que los síntomas son leves,en mi caso no ha sido así y muchos de los que conozco lo mismo.
The Spaniard, who has been suffering from fever, headache, sweating and bodily pains, suggested the vaccine has helped in minimizing the adverse effects of the virus and saved him a trip to the hospital as well.
"Fever, headache, sweating, pain all over the body, chills have been my symptoms, I'm sure the vaccine has helped to not get worse or have to visit the hospital," Moya said.
Fiebre,dolor de cabeza,sudoración,dolor por todo el cuerpo,escalofríos han sido mis síntomas.Seguro que la vacuna ha ayudado a no ir a peor ni tener que visitar el hospital.
Moya also took the opportunity to wish his followers a happy Christmas and New Year in advance.
"All this I have neither read nor been told, it has happened to me these days. If I did not know what I have, it would be like the usual flu. I will inform you. I take this opportunity to congratulate you on Christmas and wish you a great 2022. A hug!!"
Rafael Nadal's comeback grinds to a halt
Rafael Nadal, who recently made his comeback after a foot injury, suffered a setback when he was diagnosed with COVID-19. The Spaniard competed at the 2021 Mubadala World Tennis Championship from 16-18 December and tested positive after landing in Spain.
While he lost the two matches he played to Andy Murray and Denis Shapovalov, Nadal was pleased with his progress. Still, he remained unsure about his participation at the Australian Open as he wanted to consult with his team first and see how he felt physically.
Nadal's chances of competing in Australia appear slim following his positive test.
