Balestier Khalsa Player Tested Positive
Previously, a Balestier Khalsa footballer was tested positive for COVID-19. Upon the detection of his infection, the league suspended Balestier Khalsa’s fixtures against Hougang United and Geylang International.
The training was suspended for 10 days as well and the rest of the squad were self-isolated.
Their club premises went through deep cleaning too. Venue operators at Toa Payoh Stadium and Jalan Besar Stadium were notified of the positive case so that deep cleaning could commence then.
That unfaithful week, two Singapore Premier League (SPL) players were tested positive. The Balestier Khalsa player was the second to be detected.
The first player was from Geylang International. Both the players were detected through the same mandatory weekly pooled testing, and similar precautions were taken for the first players and their team as well.
