Delhi Capitals Assistant Physiotherapist has tested positive for COVID-19. He was going through his mandatory quarantine, and had tested negative for his first two tests conducted on arrival in Dubai, and tested positive for the third one.
He was yet to meet with, and had not been in contact with any players or staff of the franchise. He was isolated immediately, and is currently at the IPL Isolation Facility in Dubai for the next 14 days, at the end of which he will have to produce two negative reports for him to be able to join the Delhi Capitals squad. The franchise’s medical team is in constant touch with him, and wishes him a speedy recovery.
Earlier today, Delhi Capitals CEO Dhiraj Malhotra said that to make sure the team stays within the bio-bubble is the biggest challenge forced by the coronavirus pandemic as it gets very tough for players and support staff to remain in their rooms.
“The biggest challenge is to make sure that the team is secluded and stays within the bubble. They are all following and abiding by the rules. But it gets very tough for players and support staff of different age-groups to be stuck in their room. We are doing everything to entertain them and keep them mentally strong and stable,” Malhotra told ANI.
