Concerned about the coronavirus cases in the Flamengo delegation, Guayaquil health officials are at the hotel club in the Ecuadorian city. To avoid damage to public health in the municipality, the city is considering banning the stadium where the match between Barcelona and Flamengo would be played, this Tuesday, for the Copa Libertadores, which would force the match to be postponed.
The mayor of Guayaquil, Cynthia Viteri, posted the following message at 1:13 pm on her Twitter account:
– When it became public that a group of Flamengo players tested positive for Covid, I sent a team from the municipality, made up of the Health, Risks and Sports departments, to the place where they are staying, to run a technical report and decide on the actions. to follow.

Ecuadorian authorities arrived at the hotel in Guayaquil around the same time that the plane carrying four Flamengo players to Ecuador was leaving Manaus. After a long delay, the aircraft with João Lucas, Natan, Guilherme Bala and Rodrigo Muniz departed from the capital of Amazonas at 1:20 pm, with an estimated arrival in Guayaquil at 4:20 pm. The game is scheduled for 7.15pm.
Conmebol’s protocol does not foresee the postponement of the game under any circumstances. However, Ecuadorian officials believe that the departure could endanger the health of those involved.
Conmebol had allowed the registration of up to 50 players per team in the Libertadores to avoid postponements, since there are dates missing in the South American calendar after the championships stoppage. The organization predicts that teams must enter the field even if they only have seven players at their disposal. When the number is less than that, the team would lose by WO.
The match between Barcelona and Flamengo is valid for the fourth day of Group A of the Libertadores. The Ecuadorian team occupies the center of attention, with three defeats in three games, while Rubro-Negro is the vice-leader of the table, with 6 points.
