Conor McGregor news: Notorious sends coronavirus message after issuing plea

Conor McGregor has shared a coronavirus message days after urging the public to practice good hygiene.

The UFC star posted a photo of himself kicking an opponent in sparring, whose face was covered by a green blob, saying: "Take that, corona virus."

It comes after McGregor told people to keep washing their hands in the battle against the killer virus.

He told Maxim: "Hand hygiene is key.

"The good habits we will have gained from this wild COVID-19 attack will see us too strong in the future.

"Everyone should stay vigilant, isolated, and safe with their families at home.

"People should not think for a second that it won't effect them and put their guard down.

"We are all in this together around the world and will beat this."

The Notorious also revealed he couldn't visit the United States for St Patrick's Day due to the pandemic.

He added: "Americans know how to celebrate St Paddy’s Day. In Ireland, we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. In America, you guys celebrate St Paddy's Week, and I love it.

"While I could not come to America this year because of the virus, I hope to be there next Paddy’s Day and surprise many people in different cities like I did last year."
