Genoa, so the outbreak developed

As secondary cases emerged on Monday, we had to further evaluate this group of players who tested positive for Covid-19, to avoid new secondary cases, to protect the players and those who come in contact with them. This was stated by Maura Ferrari Bravo, director of hygiene and public health of ASL 3, to Sky Sport 24 to take stock of the restrictions on Genoa training imposed by the ASL. “The approach to player safety is based so much on a timely diagnosis of the different late positives, so we try to use valid tests at the ministerial level close to training.
