Has the Corona reached the Premier League as well?
Hapoel Haifa wants to postpone the game that is supposed to take place tonight (Sunday, 18:00) away against Maccabi Rishon Lezion due to some corona patients in the team.
The club from Carmel claims that the two parents of one of the players were positive and that he himself got up this morning when he was not feeling well, and that one of the team members was not feeling well either.
The team wants to conduct corona tests for all the players and team members during the day and then they will know if the virus has indeed reached them as well.
Maccabi Rishon Lezion refuses to postpone the game and claims that according to the protocol only if four players from the same team came out positive for a game virus will be rejected.
The club members suggested that Hapoel Haifa arrive in Rishon Lezion early and they will arrange for quick antigen tests that will allow the game to take place today.
In Haifa, they refuse the move and claim that there is no reason for the players to risk their current situation and everyone to get on the bus for a long ride.
The concern of the people of Rishon LeZion is that Haifa wants to postpone the game to allow some of their injured players to recover and return to full fitness.
