The National Baseball Commission on Monday confirmed the discovery of six new positive cases for COVID-19 in the Industriales team, “as a result of the application of the approved sanitation protocol,” according to a text from that sport’s governing body.
“These diagnoses stem from the follow-up given to the cast after the detection of five infected last Wednesday, Dec. 16,” the document said, quoted by Jit. It also explains that “as of that date, the selection has been quarantined in a hotel facility, where a second real-time PCR test was conducted last Saturday.”
According to the baseball institution’s statement, sick athletes are hospitalized and receive the care determined by the national health system. The National Commission stressed that “the causes and circumstances that motivated this situation are being evaluated, in accordance with the provisions of the Rules of the 60th National Series”, reporting the decision that Industriales will no longer play for the remainder of the year, and that he would get back what was needed for the post-season solution in January.
