St Mirren players should absolutely have to isolate if they've been in contact with coaches which they surely have been. Games postponed before the season ever starts 🤣 In a way, I want us to stay on the outside watching how the SPFL make an absolute pigs dinner of starting the new season, which they surely will.

Mikey1874 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The thing about football. Or so we've been told. Is that the contact in 90 minutes isn't enough to catch the virus. In probability %s. Training different? But in my work - when I go into workplace - we all have to sign in and out. For contact tracing. Despite all the precautions including distancing.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 For context, the most the EPL has had across ALL clubs in one week period of testing over 700 people was 6 cases - across 3 clubs. The EPL has only had 20 positive cases since weekly testing began in mid may. https://www.premierleague.com/news/1670563 This is an absolute disaster for St Mirren and a total embarrassment for the SPFL.

If they develop symptoms within the 14 days, they need to stay at home for 7 days from the day their symptoms began. They should do this even if it takes them over the 14-day isolation period.

Yes, but the social distancing measures in place should mean that none of the non-playing staff of the opposition would be identified as close contacts by the contact tracers. If none of the players tested positive and it was found to have passed between non-playing staff of different teams that would be much worse news for the SPFL as it would suggest their procedures either aren't being followed or aren't sufficient.
