Atlético Nacional was the first soccer team in the country to perform coronavirus tests on all members of the club and on Monday confirmed that, Of the 57 people who were examined, two had a positive test result.
The team preferred not to reveal the identities of those who contracted COVID-19, although it specified that both are asymptomatic, in good health and they are duly isolated in their homes.
However, hours after the Nacional statement, journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez was encouraged to confirm that positive cases of coronavirus in the team correspond to footballers, who knows their names, but will not say them.
“I am very sorry for the two Nacional players, I know that they are fine, that they are asymptomatic, I know their names, but that is not the point. Also, there must be a secret, like that of confession. One does not have to be saying things, unless they want it to be said, but they are going to recover, ”said the commentator in his editorial on the ‘Planeta football’ program.
