Massive outbreak of COVID in the CD Lugo staff. If a first case of contagion was announced on Friday, at noon on Sunday the club released a statement that leaves a gloomy panorama: 14 infected first team players, seven technicians and an assistant have tested positive in the tests carried out. The number of positives is so high that it puts at risk the dispute of the match that tomorrow, Monday, should face the albivermellos with Almería, since although the new regulations indicate that with five players from the first team it is enough to play, It is not unreasonable to think that in the next few hours more cases may appear in the squad, which would already lead to the suspension of the meeting.
In said statement, CD Lugo affirms that “the high contagion power of the new variant has affected the group despite all measures and efforts having been taken”. It is also noted that in the next few hours it is expected to give a new number of affected, which would place the dispute of the match against the Indálico group at its exact point. LaLiga regulations in this regard indicate that five players from the first team are enough for the game not to be postponed, but even this end is in doubt since Lugo has several injuries that, although they were not affected by the virus, they could not play because of their various ailments.
The COVID is thus primed with a CD Lugo that until now had been exemplary, without positive cases. Now, a new statement is expected to know if the number of infected increases. Meanwhile, all the activity of what remains of the first available squad has been suspended, canceling the training that was scheduled for the afternoon of this Sunday.
