Cornellà discovered two new cases of coronavirus in his squad after last Thursday’s cup match against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, which has raised some concern among the Barça team.
This is a player who took part in the match and a member of the Cornellá squad who was measured in the round of 32 against Ronald Koeman’s team. This second footballer was called up, but did not play, according to the Sportkrant.
Cornellà, after activating the usual protocol in these cases, would handle the suspension of this weekend’s game against El Prat, which corresponds to Second B. In addition, it has communicated the situation to Barcelona so that it can take the corresponding measures.
At the beginning of the week, a football player from Cornellá and the person responsible for the material tested positive for Covid-19 in the PCR tests. The player did not participate in the conversation and both were separated from the group according to the protocol established in these cases.
In antigen tests performed this Friday morning, two more positive results were detected. By exceeding the number of three positives, it is considered a “state of coronavirus outbreak” and the relevant measures have therefore been taken.
For its part, the Barcelona side have to perform PCR tests before the trip to Elche for the La Liga match, and so far the Barça club has not reported anything positive has been detected in its squad, which trained this morning.
