Boxer Anthony Yarde announces his dad died of coronavirus
Anthony Yarde has announced that his father has died from coronavirus, despite having no underlying health conditions.
The 28-year-old British boxer posted the news on his social media in the early hours of Sunday morning along with a message to encourage people to adhere to the government’s advice on the global health crisis.
He said: “I’m a very private person and tbh [to be honest] I’m still in shock but maybe this can help people stay home.
“My Dad passed away from this virus yesterday and he was fit with no health issues.
“The more people go out and mingle the longer this isolation will last and the more it will spread.
“I’m not a doctor but I do know if you stay home you are less likely to catch it or pass it on. It’s seriously not worth the risk.”
