Tomorrow we will expand the serological study to confirm,” he indicated after the tests carried out on Tuesday. “What I think is that they should not have movedThe rest must be investigated, “he replied to the question of whether both the football team and the League hid the results.
Fuenlabrada traveled to A Coruña after leaving four members of the club in the community of Madrid who had tested positive for coronavirus and after carrying out PCR tests on the expedition that traveled, which did not officially know the results.
