Two cases of Corona virus in Valencia, Spain
The Spanish football club, Valencia, announced today that it had discovered two cases of the new Corona virus in its ranks, but without revealing the identity of those involved. "The tests conducted on Monday on the first team, the technical staff and the immediate surroundings, in light of the preparatory work (for the next season), revealed two positive cases of Covid-19," the Valencia club said in a press statement. The two persons concerned were placed in home isolation and the entire team was subjected to a "strict (health) protocol," according to the club.
The announcement of two injuries in Valencia comes two days after the discovery of two cases in the ranks of the capital club Atlético de Madrid, which are Argentine striker Angel Correa and Croatian defender Chimi Versalico, who will be absent from the team on his trip to Lisbon, where he competes Thursday in the quarter-finals of the Champions League competition against Leipzig, Germany. Atlético retested all team members and the results were negative. Spain is one of the countries most affected by the pandemic, as it recorded 28,576 deaths out of 322,980 injuries.
