DC physio Patrick Farhart became the first victim of Covid-19 in IPL 2022. So far, with the pandemic under control, things seemed to go pretty well. Crowd returned to 50% of the stadium capacity. But BCCI has been hit hard with the first positive case.
“Delhi Capitals physio Patrick Farhart has been tested positive for COVID-19. He is being closely monitored by the DC Medical Team at the moment,” the BCCI said in an official statement.
But the first Covid case inside the air-tight bio-bubble has also puzzled BCCI. It has instructed the health and safety officials to investigate if there was any breach in the bio-bubble.
“It is always puzzling when someone gets infected inside a bio-bubble. Patrick is fine and he is being monitored by the DC medical staff but obviously, we are looking into it to eliminate any bio-bubble breach. For now, the match is on,” the BCCI official told InsideSport.IN.
