CR7 denies its hotels will become makeshift coronavirus hospitals

Sunday, 15 Mar, 2020 0

CR7 has denied reports its hotels in Portugal will become hospitals to care for people with coronavirus.

A report in Spanish daily newspaper Marca said  Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo had said he will turn his CR7 brand into makeshift hospitals, which will be available free of charge.

Ronaldo owns two CR7 hotels in Lisbon, Portugal and Funchal, Madeira.

The report said Ronaldo was going to cover the costs of medical staff and other workers, as well as medicines.

But a spokesperson later told Dutch outlet RTL Nieuws: ""We are a hotel. We are not going to be a hospital."
