Ex-Sunderland boss David Moyes forced to self-isolate over coronavirus fears

Former Sunderland manager David Moyes is currently self-isolating – after coronavirus fears were sparked following his interactions with Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta.

Arteta tested positive for COVID-19 last week, with his coaching staff and playing squad now currently in self-isolation too.

And Moyes – whose West Ham United side faced the Gunners on March 7 – has taken similar steps as a precautionary measure.

He has, however, shown no symptoms of the virus and is only self-isolating as a precaution.
