“A total of 142 persons had been tested one day prior to checking into the hotel for Covid 19 and four have returned positive,” CAB joint secretary Debabrata Das said in a statement.
The players who have tested positive are Abhishek Raman (East Bengal), Writtick Chatterjee (Mohun Bagan), Dip Chatterjee (Customs), and Partha Pratim Sen (Anti-Corruption).
Das further added that the four players have been referred to the CAB’s medical unit for further treatment.
