“Birkirkara FC has been made aware that one of its Senior Team players has tested positive for Covid-19. In view of this, the club has decided to cancel all training activities until further notice.”

“The player is in good health and has been in self-isolation since he first showed symptoms. The club has taken all precautionary measures and all those who attended training with the same player have been asked to self isolate and get tested,” the post continues.
