You probably can't help a player catching it, say from someone in their family, but clubs need to make sure their protocols are in order to stop the close contact impacts. Albeit as more players are double jagged,that time-lapse and PCR negative self isolation reduces. Edited August 24, 2021 by DETTY29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a really important point for clubs this season, would be bad to have someone missing who is a negative Covid but deemed close contact and not vaccinated. Seems a few close contacts in Rangers case have been vaccinated so may not be as bad as made out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corryjambo Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Match against Celtic will be postponed to ensure "sporting integrity". However if it happens to any other team under any other circumstances a 3-0 will be awarded. I thought at first I was being sarcastic with this post but I have the horrible feeling that that is the way it might pan out given the contract with Sky guarantees four old firm games for broadcast.

Think it does in England not sure about up here. Aubameyang came on for Arsenal on Sunday but tested positive the day of the Brentford game the week prior which by my maths was 8/9 full days depending on how you wanna look at it. Lacazette was also in his box with friends and family he too tested positive the same Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure to reduce from the standard ten days if identified as a close contact, you would need to have been double jagged by at least 14 days and have an NHS PCR test with a negative result. The private ones clubs do won't suffice. Football doesn't and shouldn't be determined as an exception.

However, as under 30s didn't begin getting first jab until mid-June, most footballers won't be at that stage yet and will have to isolate for the full 10 days of identified as close contacts. Interesting to see posters on this thread highlight the importance of keeping protocols going to reduce the number of players deemed close contacts. On other threads the need for a red zone is being heavily criticised. The red zone has been kept by the SFA (not Government) specifically to reduce the number of teammates deemed a close contact if a player tests positive.
