On the same day, the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga League officially launched the new crown virus detection program. The Cologne team, including players, coaches and all logistics personnel, participated in the test. As a result, three people were diagnosed with the new crown virus and all patients were asymptomatic. For privacy reasons, Cologne did not disclose the names of the three.
Cologne also stated in a statement that the above-mentioned three will go home for 14 days of self-isolation, and the team's training plan will continue as usual. According to the usual requirements of the local health department, people who have close contact with the infected person within the past 14 days also need to be isolated for 14 days.
A local reporter said that two of the three people who tested positive were two first-team players and a physical therapist, but the news was not confirmed by the club. So far, the club does not know how these three people were infected, so the infection chain is still unknown. "When the test result is positive, these three people are at a loss," the reporter also introduced.
The Cologne Club also discussed with the team leader Dr. Tim Meyer and microbiology and infection epidemiology expert Barbara Gartner about the infection of club members. The former said: "We can detect and identify at an early stage People infected with the virus and reduce the risk. We will always maintain close contact with the health department and medical experts. We firmly believe that with our philosophy, we can give players the best virus protection in their careers. "
Christian Seifert, the chief executive of the German Football League, said last week that the Bundesliga is ready to restart on May 9, but since then some media said that May 16 is a more likely restart time. However, with the emergence of three patients with positive New Coronavirus tests during the sensitive period in Cologne, it may cause the restart of the Bundesliga to be postponed again. (Finish)
