With the negative test, the manager will be able to return to dispatch at his office in La Noria and at concentrations with the rest of the team
The sports director of Cruz Azul, Jaime Ordiales, finally tested negative for coronavirus in the results he received this Saturday from the PCR test that was carried out on Friday, which has ended the 16-day quarantine period for the disease.
Both Ordiales and the club’s staff were afraid of the symptoms that the 57-year-old manager could present, who is a survivor of throat cancer and every year a check-up is carried out as a control.
However, after 16 days of isolation in a room at the Cruz Azul concentration hotel south of Mexico City, ESPN has learned that Ordiales only had stomach pain, general discomfort, loss of smell and taste and a mild cough, but without any symptoms getting worse.
The results of the CT scans also showed no visible damage to the lungs, ESPN confirmed.
Several days during the last two weeks, Ordiales was practically without showing symptoms, and now with the negative test he will be able to return to dispatch at his office in La Noria and at the concentrations with the rest of the team.
The only active case in Cruz Azul’s first team is that of the Uruguayan midfielder Ignacio Rivero, who has shown mild but uncomplicated symptoms and is also isolated in a Cruz Azul hotel room.
