Bonilla: “I am one of the asymptomatic carriers"
According to health experts a person can recover from Covid-19 between 10 to 14 days after contracting the virus. Symptoms of the new coronavirus are fever, coughing, a sore throat and difficulty in breathing (in the worst of cases).
“I am one of the asymptomatic carriers, I do not have any of the symptoms. I had a meeting at the FIFA headquarters in Zurich on March 10, then I stopped in Madrid before returning to Mexico. I felt fine until Monday morning when my throat started to hurt,” said Bonilla during an interview after he was diagnosed with Covid-19.
