35-year-old Ronaldo went into quarantine last week after Juventus team-mate Daniele Rugani tested positive for the virus which had killed over 1,000 people in Italy.
Ronaldo is currently in isolation in Madeira so he can be close to his mother, Dolores Aveira, who is still recovering from a stroke.
MySportDab understands that the President of the Madeira regional government confirmed that Ronaldo was not infected by the coronavirus.
Strict travel restrictions in Italy means that Ronaldo cannot return for the time being and Juventus have placed all players and staffs into isolation anyway.
MySportDab can also confirm that Ronaldo remains in contact with Juventus and is training in his personal gym in Madeira.
He expressed his concern about the virus on social media on Friday, writing: ‘The world is going through a tough time and demands the very care and attention from everyone.
‘I am not speaking to you today as a footballer, but as a father, a son, as a human knowing of the latest events that is affecting the world.
‘It is important that we all follow the guidelines of the WHO (World Health Organization) and those of governments authorities on how to manage this situation.’
Now, Ronaldo has taken practical steps by giving up the temporary hospitals and bearing all costs for medical staffs to work 24 hours a day there.
