Dubai: Another COVID-19 positive case has been reported from the IPL 2020 camp in the UAE. This time, a senior member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) medial team has been infected with virus, according to a report on Thursday (September 3).
“It is true, but there is no issue as he (senior medical officer) is asymptomatic and has been kept in isolation. He has not been in contact with anyone and possibly contracted it during his travel to the UAE. He is being monitored and should hopefully be fine in the next round of testing. We also have two people at the NCA who have tested positive and have been kept in isolation,” sources told news agency ANI.
