Cowdenbeath FC are now able to confirm that one of our players has tested positive for Covid-19. The player in question has been self-isolating since last Friday and will continue to do so until 20 October. We of course all hope that he will soon be restored to good health.
In addition, another player who had been in close contact tested negative - he now is self-isolating for the requisite 14 days. Following consultation with the Scottish football authorities as well as liaison with Test and Protect, Cowdenbeath FC has met with NHS Fife (by video conference) and other key parties including Scottish Government representatives.
It was established that the club had operated within the agreed Covid-19 protocols and thus no other players/staff were required to test or self-isolate.
