What will the league or team do if a La Liga player contracts the virus?
The outbreak of the new Crown Pneumonia epidemic has had a huge impact on soccer tournaments around the world. Spanish soccer's first division (LaLiga) is no exception, having been suspended since March 2020 and not resuming play until June. However, the risk of LaLiga players contracting the virus remains as the outbreak is still raging. So what will the league or teams do?
Steps to take after a player is infected with the virus
If a player is infected with the new Champions League virus, the league or team should take the following steps:
1. Immediately isolate the player
Once a player is found to be infected with the virus, the league or team must immediately isolate the player to prevent the virus from spreading. The isolation should be done at a specialized hospital or medical facility to ensure that the player receives the best possible treatment.
2. Testing and contact tracing
After a player has been infected with the virus, the league or team should test the player to determine if he has infected others. In addition, people who came into contact with the player should be tracked to determine if they have also contracted the virus.
3. Disinfecting the field and equipment
After a player has contracted the virus, the league or team should immediately disinfect the field and equipment to ensure that other players and staff are not infected. This includes disinfecting locker rooms, training fields and equipment used by players.
4. Notify Other Players and Staff
If a player is infected with the virus, the league or team should immediately notify other players and staff so that they can take the necessary precautions. Players and staff should be advised on how to prevent the spread of the virus, including keeping a social distance, washing their hands regularly, and wearing masks.
League or team response
In addition to the operational steps for players infected with the virus, leagues or teams should take the following measures to respond to outbreaks:
1. Strengthening sanitary precautions
Leagues or teams should strengthen their sanitary precautions, which include disinfecting venues and equipment on a regular basis, providing face masks and hand sanitizers, and restricting the contact of players and staff contact, etc.
2. Implement match restrictions
To prevent the spread of the virus, leagues or teams should implement match restrictions, including removing spectators, reducing contact between players and staff, and restricting media interviews.
3. Postpone or cancel matches
If a player is infected with the virus or has suspected symptoms, the league or team should postpone or cancel the match to avoid the spread of the virus.
