After no less than 11 people have been diagnosed in the club in Corona, a number of Hapoel B'Shlosha players reported this morning (Wednesday) to the team's management that they are suffering from symptoms of the virus.
There is great concern at the club, as seven players have already been diagnosed as positive, including stopper Louis Taha who is currently with the Israeli national team in Scotland.
Beyond that, coach Yossi Aboksis was also positive for the virus this morning and he joins goalkeeping coach Gili Ben Nahum, who fell ill in Corona.
Economist Shimon Haliva is also positive about the virus, as is fitness coach Michael Brosh.
"This is a very worrying wave of contagion," the club said, adding: "We will wait a few days to understand the dimensions. The chances of us appearing in full force for the first game in the Europa League in about two weeks are not high."
At this point, BS has stopped training the team until further notice. Apparently, there will be no more training this week. The players will be tested again in the coming days to find out if there are any more positive for the virus.
