translated from Spanish: Javier Ortega Desio is the first Puma to test for coronavirus positive

Javier Ortega Desio, the third line of the Argentine rugby team, tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), as reported by Unión Argentina (UAR) through a statement issued on Sunday. In the letter, the UAR explained that the player had not been part of the practices that began on August 13, because he already had symptoms compatible with pandemic disease.” Until now the player never trained at Casa Pumas because he was complying with the mandatory isolation, since days before the beginning of the practices had presented symptoms such as fever and general discomfort, which then confirmed the presence of the coronavirus”, notes the statement.
Having a fever and headaches, the 30-year-old carrier of Paraná was referred on Sunday to a Buenos Aires clinic, as was his wife, actress Belu Lucius, and his mother-in-law, who were hospitalized for bilateral pneumonia caused by COVID-19.” We’ve been having a lot of symptoms for 10 days, I hadn’t wanted to tell because we had a hard time,” she explained through her social networks. After a new series of tests, Los Pumas will begin another week of training with an eye on the Rugby Championship, a tournament that will be played between 7 November and 12 December in New Zealand, provided that sanitary conditions permit.
