After nearly two years of pandemic, 2022 began with new concerns about Covid-19’s advance. Brazil had an increase of 137% in records of infection in the last year of 2021, a number that also shows reflection among the famous.
Former soccer player Ronaldo Nazário, 45, is one of the already confirmed cases of the disease in this new high in diagnoses. The statement was made this Sunday morning (2) by the social networks of Cruzeiro, recently purchased by the athlete.
“Cruzeiro announces that, this Sunday morning, Ronaldo Nazário tested positive for Covid-19. With that, it is impossible for him to go to Belo Horizonte today, as well as his presence in the commemorative actions for the club’s anniversary,” he said in a statement.
Several other famous people have also confirmed the positive diagnosis in recent weeks. That was the case of influencer Gabriela Pugliesi, 37, who announced to her followers on Christmas morning that she was “zero symptoms” and isolated.
With two doses of the vaccine already taken, Pugliesi had already been one of the first public figures to contract the disease, in March 2020, after several guests at his sister’s wedding also had a positive diagnosis after the party, in Bahia.
The presenter and actress Maisa Silva, 19, caught the disease with her parents, which made the three of them have a reserved New Year’s party, in quarantine. She told on her social networks that everyone has mild symptoms “thanks to the vaccine”.
Other famous people who had to change their plans for the holiday season because of the disease are actors Marcelo Serrado and Luis Lobianco —the latter would have contracted the disease in Europe— and singers Preta Gil and Mariano, from the duo with Munhoz.
International names thicken the list of infected, despite mild symptoms or even no symptoms, such as actor Hugh Jackman; actress Maria Antonieta de Las Neves, Chiquinha from “Chavez”; and members of the k-pop group BTS. See more names in the gallery above.
