Cornellà detected two new cases of coronavirus in his team after the Cup match against Barcelona, on Thursday, in the Copa del Rey, which caused some concern in the Barça team.
This is a player who participated in the game and a member of the Cornellá team who was measured in the eighth against Ronald Koeman’s team. This second footballer was called, but did not play, according to the Sport newspaper.
Cornellà, after activating the usual protocol in these cases, would have processed the suspension of this weekend’s match against El Prat, corresponding to the second B. In addition, he communicated the situation in Barcelona so that he could take the appropriate measures.
Earlier this week, a Cornellá football player and the person in charge of the material gave positive results for Covid-19 in the PCR tests. The player did not enter the appeal and both were separated from the group, following the protocol established in these cases.
In the antigen tests performed on Friday morning, two more positives were detected. By overcoming the number of three positive aspects, it is considered to be a “coronavirus outbreak”, which is why the relevant actions have been launched.
For its part, the Barcelona team must perform PCR tests for the trip to Elche for the La Liga match, and so far the Barça club has not reported that any positive has been detected in its team, which trained tomorrow.
