There was no big statement from the county board when the 3 Carbery teams were shut down. A club statement is more than enough.

They came back negative and the clubs reopened. Of course there was confirmed cases, why would the clubs be shut down if there wasn't?
big_drive wrote: » No your information is all wrong. That’s not how things work whatsoever. There was no cases diagnosed in GAA players. The simple way of explaining is this. -there was a house party in West Cork. - it was attended by a large number of people including 3 GAA players from the 3 clubs in question - another person at the party was diagnosed with the virus. This person is not a GAA player - but obviously the GAA lads were in close contact with the individual over a period of time at the party. - as a result they needed to be tested plus people they were in contact with needed to isolate and watch for symptoms, this would have included their teammates - results negative so free to continue So just to clarify at no stage did any player actually have the virus. You asked why the clubs closed? That’s what a club must do if there is a “possible” case. A club can’t risk continuing and hoping things come back negative The situation in North Cork is different as the player is CONFIRMED with the virus. A whole different ball game. And that why the County Board needed to make a statement on it. By making a proper statement it may stop gossip and stories going around. Details can get mixed up otherwise, like you had heard there was players in west cork diagnosed with the virus and that’s incorrect.

I’m not going on rumours Have you a link to where it was said a GAA player in West Cork tested positive? I’d be interested in reading it, thanks.
