MEXICO CITY (AP) - The president of Mexico's Liga MX soccer league announced Friday he has tested positive for coronavirus.
League President Enrique Bonilla said in a statement that 'œI don't have serious symptoms." He says he'll remain in isolation and keep up with the situation of Mexican first-division soccer.
Mexican first-division soccer matches were suspended this week until further notice to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
