Greek shipowner Evangelos Marinakis has made a full recovery from the Covid-19 coronavirus.

In a statement released on the website of Nottingham Forest Football Club, the Capital Maritime & Trading chairman and owner of the UK football club said a second medical test conducted two weeks after he had tested positive showed he was now free of the virus.

“After two weeks in full compliance with my doctors’ instructions, I underwent my second medical test, as suggested by the relevant protocol, which turned out negative,” he said.
