translated from Spanish: Tennis: Dimitrov tests positive for coronavirus after 10 days at Djokovic tournament

Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov on Sunday revealed his positive for coronavirus, after the last two weeks participating in the Adria Tour, both in Belgrade and Zadar, where on Sunday the final between Serbian Novak Djokovic and Russian Andrey Rublev was suspended.” I want to announce to my fans and friends that I tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Monaco. I want to make sure that everyone who’s been in touch with me over the last few days gets tested and takes the necessary precautions. I’m very sorry for the damage I may have caused,” he announced on his social media. The charity tournament organized by the world’s number one was giving much to talk about for playing in packed stadiums, without the health protocol against COVID-19 that is being followed much in part of Europe. Djokovic repeatedly argued that the rules of the Serbian and Croatian governments have allowed these tournaments for a not-so-great crisis in their countries. However, Dimitrov’s positive alarms the tennis world, as the Bulgarian in recent days has played in two packed stadiums in two different countries, as well as playing several tennis matches. The world’s 19th even played a football match and a basketball game with Djokovic, Zverev and more tennis players. The ATP announced this week its schedule and return of the circuit, suspended since early March at Indian Wells, in mid-August, just after the ANNOUNCEMENT of the US Open to continue its plans. Now, with players back in their hotels for emergency testing, you can see the consequences of a tour without health precautions among the professionals.
