The Madrid CAR was already closed
The Higher Sports Council (CSD) had already decided to interrupt all sports activity at the CAR facilities in Madrid "in line with the measures adopted by the Madrid community in terms of sports and events" last Wednesday.
"This fact complements the closure of the judo pavilion decreed on Friday 6 after the visit of a person from the Judo Federation who has tested positive for Covid-19," the CSD said three days ago in a statement.
On March 6, the CSD announced that it had asked the athletes not to go to the judo hall as a "temporary precautionary measure", after confirming a case of COVID-19 in one of the federation workers and the testing a second person who had been on the premises in previous days.
