The transmission of the Corona virus infection to three people, in the competing club in the German Football League, raised many doubts and questions about safety if the tournament matches are allowed to resume again.
As the league tries to persuade the government to resume the Bundesliga matches this May and the number of HIV infections in the country has decreased, the Cologne announcement that three people afflicted with it were infected on Friday.
Senior member of parliament Carl Lauterbach of the Social Democrats participating in the ruling coalition led by Chancellor Angela Merkel tweeted, "today, two players, I think, and one of the crew members have been infected, and the rest of the team players continue to train. In destroying the lungs, heart and kidneys. "
Regarding the continuation of the Cologne training instead of isolating the rest of the team, the parliamentarian, who is also a professor of health economics and epidemiology, added, "I am surprised that the players have accepted this to happen ... Football should set an example."
The club said that the three injured did not show symptoms and they were isolated for 14 days, but did not reveal any names out of respect for privacy, nor did he mention if there were any players among these injured.
While the league clubs are back in training, they will have to wait another week for any decision regarding the resumption of the season, after the government decided on Thursday to postpone deciding the issue in light of the outbreak of the Corona epidemic that sparked panic around the world.
