‘I don’t have symptoms of coronavirus,’ says Iga Swiatek after contact with Poland president
French Open winner Iga Swiatek will self-isolate for the next few days after she came into contact with Polish President Andrzej Duda, who has tested positive for coronavirus.
Following her Roland Garros success a fortnight ago, the 19-year-old Swiatek met Duda in Warsaw on Friday as she was awarded the Gold Cross of Merit, a Polish state decoration, for her Grand Slam achievements.
