Cologne (SID) – Brazil’s football champion CR Flamengo has to struggle with the spread of the corona virus in the club environment. Three players were tested positive for COVID-19, the club said. “Of the 293 people tested, 38 were positive, sometimes without symptoms,” said one statement.
The infections were found in tests between April 30 and May 3 in association employees and their relatives. Antibodies against the virus were also discovered in two professionals. The infected have quarantined, their condition is monitored daily with questionnaires on the development of the disease, the association said. This also applies to players and employees whose family members are infected.
