Costa Rica played Jamaica with players who tested positive for the coronavirus

Jamaica’s game against Costa Rica for World Cup qualifiers (Central and North America Zones) took place at the National Stadium on Wednesday and the Costa Ricans won 1-0, but it seems there is a third part left.

However, as revealed in an interview with the head of medical staff at the Jamaica Football Association, Gian Arscott, six members of the Costa Rican mission were found to have tested positive for the coronavirus upon arrival in Jamaica last Tuesday (2.91). usually join the game a day later.

“I can confirm that six Costa Ricans have tested positive for the coronavirus, including three footballers. A player was isolated because their test was relatively new.

For the other two players, we recommended isolating them or not allowing them to play. We had discussions with members of the Ministry of Health and wondered if they had any new infections after coming out negative before leaving Costa Rica.

“However, the tests were positive, we saw it as our responsibility to tell them not to play.”initially stressed in his interview, to add:

“They were found positive 15 days ago. They informed us that they had been quarantined and that they had tested negative before traveling from Costa Rica. But upon arrival in Jamaica they were found positive in our official laboratory.

I don’t know if we can object to the fate of the game, but I’m sure we’ll send material to FIFA for investigation, as we’re talking about a complete violation of the rules.
