He has given his version of events and explained how they traveled to the Galician city.
“As every week after each game we proceed to do the PCR tests on Saturday at 9 in the morning. At 9:00 p.m. the first altered case appears, which then ends up confirming that it is positive. We get in contact with him, he is isolated and our medical services open an investigation to see who he had contact with, “he said.
“On Sunday at 9 the PCRs are repeated and a quick test is done to see if there were any more affected, all the tests are negative, the team is ready to train again and we wait in the afternoon for the results to be given and there are three infected club employees who have complied with the protocol, less than 15 minutes less than 2 meters away. It was decided to isolate them and all those who tested negative were tested. There were three tests in two days. Monday everyone is called to a fourth test at 8:30 and we travel to Galicia without knowing the results, we arrived around 18:00 and they confirm that there are six other positive cases, “he added.
Since that time, it has continued, Fuenlabrada informs LaLiga of the situation and awaits the decision of the organism's meeting with CSD and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). “In no case has any person been put at riskWe travel by private flight and by bus, following protocol. We always bring the information to LaLiga's knowledge and we do not commit any negligence, “he stressed.
President, annoyed by the attacks that Fuenlabrada has received from various clubs and authorities In the last few hours, he has regretted that nobody cares about those affected: “No one asks about them, but the boys have started with symptoms today. They have fever and headaches.”
AND has responded to the mayor of La Coruña, who announced that he would take legal action against the Madrid club. “You should seek less prominence and think of a large city that you have in your hands to enter a subject that is not within your competence. That is what the health authorities are for. Focus on there being no outbreaks due to negligence in your city “he stated.
Too The Fuenlabrada president has denied that anyone from the expedition has left the hotel. “We cannot be accused of anything without having information like someone who is outraged saying that the players have gone to recreational areas near the hotel. It is a lie,” he said.
“We have not lived a normal life, we have only taken the bus from the airport to the hotel and there we have been in a reserved room and in the rooms. We have not put hotel staff at risk, we strictly comply with the rules with a mask always two meters away. With so much indignation that they had better worry about the 3,000 people who were around Riazor without a mask. We have not been negligent, “he sentenced.
