On Sunday, April 18, one of our club's front office staff tested positive for COVID-19 in a PCR test. On the same day, PCR tests were conducted for top team players and team officials, which had been scheduled prior to this incident, and all tested negative, with no symptoms such as poor health or fever observed.
The staff member in question has not accompanied the team to away games throughout the season. Currently, they are recuperating at home with no significant symptoms.
Furthermore, PCR tests for front office staff, excluding the individual in question, are scheduled for Monday, April 19. However, as a result of today's hearing by the public health center, no close contacts were identified within the club, so there will be no changes to the club's future activities.
Regarding the clubhouse facilities, the entire building was disinfected with alcohol by an external contractor on the 18th. The official shop and futsal courts will continue to operate as usual. The club will further strengthen its existing measures against COVID-19 and will re-disseminate and enforce infection prevention measures among all players, staff, and related parties.
