Bristol City Confirm Positive COVID-19 Test<\/h2>\n

Club’s Statement<\/h3>\n

The club confirmed the positive test on Tuesday afternoon. The self-isolation period of seven days means that whoever tested positive will no longer be eligible for the game.<\/p>\n

A statement on the club website read<\/a>: “After last Thursday\u2019s league-wide testing for COVID-19 completed by Bristol City players and staff at the club\u2019s training facility, we can confirm that one member of the testing group tested positive for coronavirus.”<\/p>\n

The individual is asymptomatic, therefore, likely to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n

In the latest round of testing, Championship clubs reported six positive tests ahead of the resumption of the campaign.<\/p>\n
