Yesterday, for the first time, two first-team players were diagnosed with Corona 19 at a professional baseball NC team that had another confirmed case.
One close contact in the squad, who had previously tested negative, was re-tested and was found to be positive.
The rest of the NC players who tested negative are self-isolating at their dorms, but there are still concerns about further confirmation as an epidemiological investigation is still in progress.
A confirmed case was also found in the opposing team of NC.
Two people from the Doosan team, which played three consecutive games this week with NC, were confirmed positive today.
With this, the total number of confirmed cases in the first-team squad, which started at the Seoul away dormitory, has increased to five.
With the exception of about 130 athletes who were included in the Olympic preliminary entry, about two-thirds of the entire squad were not vaccinated.
Matches have been canceled for three days in a row due to COVID-19.
Today, three matches were not played, including NC and Doosan, where the confirmed cases were confirmed, as well as the KIA match against Doosan last weekend, so the number of games canceled due to Corona 19 this season increased to nine.
