The French U20 rugby team, gathered since January 12 in Faro, Portugal, has become a hotbed of Covid-19.
Seven players and two members of the management have reportedly tested positive.
Fortunately all cases are asymptomatic.
Placed in isolation in their hotel rooms, they await the decisions of the Portuguese local authorities for their repatriation.
If part of the delegation will return to France this Tuesday, they will have to wait on site for the results of new tests.
The whole group had yet been tested four times, in a club and then during this course.
Bad publicity when the government is currently studying the feasibility of holding the Six Nations Tournament.
