Professional boxer Otto Wallin is quarantined in New York after having had coronal-like symptoms for over a week, writes Sportbladet.

The Swede writes on his Facebook page that a relative has tested positive for the virus.

"A family member of mine has tested positive for the corona virus, which means I have," Otto Wallin writes.

"Can't feel smell"

Otto Wallin has been visited by his mother and her partner and when they came home to Sweden his mother felt symptoms. Her partner is in a risk group and was forced to visit hospitals, where he tested positive for Covid-19.

The Swedish professional boxer had symptoms such as fatigue and sore throat. He has been quarantined since March 15.

“After three days, the symptoms released and I felt more alert, but two days later I completely lost the sense of smell and taste, which in itself felt a bit bizarre. Now the taste has returned and yet I can still feel no smell at all. "
