Jonathas de Jesus has tested positive for coronavirus. This was confirmed this Sunday by Elche in an official statement. The Brazilian striker already presented symptoms last Saturday, with fever and respiratory distress. Elche did not want to make the name of the affected public.
“I want to thank you for the show of encouragement. I'm home now and I'm feeling fine. Everything is controlled. Now I have to recover as soon as possible to return to my colleagues stronger. I stay at home and Much Elche “, Jonathas has commented on his social networks.
After the positive, the franjiverde club has informed that all club staff (staff, technicians and employees) will remain in quarantine at their homes for 15 days.
By last, Elche has also closed the Martínez Valero facilities to the public. The club, despite Jonathas' positive, has confirmed that “it has been following a series of preventive measures for days to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
