AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini and his son Daniel contracted the coronavirus and were tested positive a couple of days ago. Maldini has provided an update today as he appears to be in good health. The current Technical Director got tested after realising that someone he was in contact with had contracted the coronavirus.

“With this video I wanted to thank all those people who expressed via social media and messages their love and also their concern for my and my son’s health,” he said.
“We’re fine, we should be able to rid ourselves of this virus within a week. Thanks for your affection, which is truly never lacking.
“I also want to thank all those doctors, nurses, health workers, civil guards and law enforcement officers who are facing this emergency with the utmost professionalism and huge courage.
“Once again, you make us feel proud to be Italian. Thanks again.”
