After returning from the exhibition event in Abu Dhabi where he lost to Andy Murray, Nadal announced that he had tested positive for the virus. Now, Carlos Moya, who has been part of the Spaniard’s outfit since 2016, has announced the same.
“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 wrote on Twitter.
