Cristiano Ronaldo Faces Fine For Violating Italy's COVID-19 Restrictions

Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo is under investigation for allegedly breaking Italy's COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Ronaldo, 35, is accused of traveling between the Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta regions of Italy. He was seen on Tuesday on social media riding in a snowmobile at a mountain resort with partner Georgina Rodriguez. The footage has now been deleted, per the BBC.

Italian COVID-19 restrictions currently bar residents from travel between regions with few exceptions. There have been over 87,000 COVID-19 deaths in Italy over the last year, with over 2.5 million reported positive cases. Ronaldo himself tested positive for COVID-19 in October 2020, returning to the pitch in May.
