According to several media reports, Gayle was one of the members who attended Bolt's 34th birthday party. However, the left hander batsman tested negative twice for COVID-19 post the incident and will be leaving for UAE to joing his Kings XI Punjab teammates ahead of the IPL season starting September 19.

 

"Couple days ago. 1st COVID-19 test...Before travel I need 2 negative test," Gayle's Instagram story said. In another post, he wrote, "The last one went a bit too far in my nose. Phew. Result was negative."

 

"I'm going to stay home for 2020... not gonna travel again...nah sah! Tan a mi yard!! Keep the change! Excuse me! (sic)" he added.

 

Meanwhile, Bolt, who has been tested positive for COVID-19, posted a video on social media on Monday saying he is self-isolating himself at his home, even though he is not showing any symptoms at the moment.

 

"Good morning everybody I'm confirmed of COVID-19. I did a test on Saturday," Bolt said. "(I'm) trying to be responsible so I'm going to stay in, and stay away from my friends. And also, I am having no symptoms, so I am going to quarantine myself. And will wait and see what is the protocol and how should I go about quarantining myself, from the ministry of health."

 

"Just to be safe, I have quarantined myself, and just to take it easy. Be safe over there. Alright, cool," he added.
