Corinthian, a famous Brazilian football club, announced on the 27th local time that 10 players have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, all of whom are asymptomatic.
The club has announced the list of 10 players and has suspended their training and games.
The confirmed player is currently in a 10-day quarantine.
The 10 confirmed players will miss the matchups against Bahia on Thursday and next Wednesday in Saiara, and may also miss the match against Atlético Paraná on February 7.
In an interview with the media, player doctor Ivan Grava said: “Maybe there are players who have a second infection, and the club will study the infection in more detail.
Although we often do COVID-19 testing, Brazil is currently facing another impact of the pandemic.
There are outbreaks in many places, and we have foreseen COVID-19 infection in the club.
