The first four cases identified by the island club were already players of the first team.
The absences did not prevent the Corsicans from sharing the points with Nîmes (1-1) during the opening of the championship, in Furiani.
It should be the same on Saturday, in Caen, against Quevilly-Rouen.
Outbreak of the epidemic in Haute-Corse
The LFP protocol specifies that at least 16 positive players are required to be able to request the postponement of a meeting, unless the two professional goalkeepers are contaminated.
Announcing new restrictive measures to try to curb the outbreak of the epidemic in Haute-Corse, the prefect of the department François Ravier specified Monday that the “country of Bastia” was particularly affected by the new wave of Covid-19 with a rate of incidence of 845 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The wearing of the mask in "dense places" is particularly effective again in the main towns of the department and in particular in Bastia.
