Turkey: Virus retest for G.Saray players negative

In a reversal of results from Friday, Galatasaray players tested negative for the novel coronavirus on Sunday, the Turkish football club said.

The İstanbul club said on their website that the two positive cases were retested and found to be negative.

The Lions added that the players will continue in home isolation as a precaution.

The club did not give the names of the players.

This June, Turkey's top-tier Super Lig resumed play after a three-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic, playing at empty stadiums and using a host of safety measures to protect the public health.
