Yesterday, Thursday, the world sports center received a shocking news of the outbreak of Corona virus (Covid 19) in the Brazilian club Flamingo to infect 39 players and workers inside the club at once, while the epidemic killed the fitness trainer Jorge Luis Domingos (68 years) last Monday.
The Brazilian club announced in an official statement on its account on "Twitter" about the new infections, including five players, and said that "he conducted tests to detect the Corona virus for 239 people in the club from 30 April to 3 May, and the result of 38 positive samples ".
He explained: "After tracking the cases, 11 athletes who were infected with the virus were discovered inside the club who carried the infection from infected contacts with whom they had previously contacted without showing any symptoms."
"The injured players and staff have been isolated, they are all supervised and monitored, and they will return to their normal lives after obtaining negative tests for their samples," Flamingo added.
Flamingo seemed to be used to misfortunes even before Coruna, after the club in February last year suffered a major fire at the training ground that killed 10 people and injured at least 3 others.
The Corona virus threatens the tournaments of a large number of countries. As clubs prepare to return to training in preparation for the return of competitions, unpleasant news has started to escalate, specifically from Italy, the epicenter of the epidemic in the old continent, as Sampdroya announced on Thursday that four players were infected with the virus "They will be constantly monitored according to the health protocol," he said in a statement.
Hours later, the Italian club Fiorentina revealed that three of its players had been injured in Corona, which frustrated the attempts to return to sports activity, as was previously planned, during the training week within a week at the latest !.
