Ronaldo was visiting his mother who had a stroke earlier this month, AP reported.

As of Wednesday, Italy has more than 12,000 coronavirus cases, CBS News reported. At least 800 people have died.

Italy is currently on lockdown in an attempt to contain the outbreak.

President Donald Trump has since issued a ban on travel from Europe in response to the virus.

“To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days,” Trump said addressing the U.S. from the Oval Office on Wednesday.

The new rule will go into effect Friday at midnight, Trump stated.

“These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground. There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings,” Trump said.

The first cases of a mysterious respiratory illness — what is now known as COVID-2019, a form of coronavirus — began in Wuhan, China in late December. Since then, the virus has spread worldwide, leading the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency, the first since the zika epidemic in 2016.
