The league has sent a new text about the ‘Covid protocol’ dated January 4. Exempts those who have tested positive in the last ninety days from performing antigen tests and PCR. It also allows clubs to carry out PCR in their own laboratories and in a second PCR negative they will be able to return to group dynamics.
Mundo Deportivo has had access to the update of the COVID protocol carried out by the League after the first version approved on December 22 by the Delegate Commission.
There are two aspects to highlight with respect to the previous text. The first has to do with the daily antigen or PCR tests to be performed when they return from a 3 or 4 day break.
From now on these controls will not have to be passed by all those players or staff members who have had COVID in the last ninety diss. All of them are exempt from having to pass them on understanding that, since they have just passed the disease, they are already immune.
The second major change lies in the performance of PCR tests when positive cases appear within a template.
PCR testing in independent laboratories
First, it authorizes all clubs to carry out PCR tests within 48 hours of these cases appearing in an independent laboratory considered by the club in question. That if, the cost of them will be borne by the team that makes them.
But it also gives official validity to the dynamics that are already being carried out by all the clubs and that has to do with when these PCR tests give negative to the player, coach, etc … after 48 hours of their first positive. If the affected person tests negative in the next two PCR, they can rejoin the group dynamics. The club must specify that laboratory in question and communicate it to the League.
These changes seek, given the specific issue of this variant, to give more normality to the work of groups of the teams and the development of the competition.
