New Zealand vs Pakistan: Visitors Still Not Allowed To Train As Medical Officers Check On COVID-19 Cases | Cricket News
The Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team is still not allowed to train as the Health Ministry of New Zealand on Tuesday confirmed that there may be three more cases of COVID-19 within the touring contingent. “The team is not allowed to train until the Canterbury DHB medical officer of health determines they are satisfied that any training activities are unlikely to transmit COVID-19,” said New Zealand’s Health Ministry in an official statement. New Zealand’s Health Ministry also confirmed that in the fresh round of testing, a total of 46 members of the Pakistan unit were tested for COVID-19.
The results which have come out, show that 42 people have tested negative for COVID-19, while three are under investigation to determine whether they are historical cases while one result is pending.
“Day 6 swabs were taken yesterday from the 46 members of the Pakistan cricket squad in Christchurch who to date have returned negative test results for COVID-19. Of those, 42 have subsequently returned a further negative test result. Three are under investigation to determine whether they are historical cases, and one test result is pending,” the Health Ministry said.
On November 28, a seventh member of the Pakistan touring squad had tested positive for coronavirus days after six members reported positive, New Zealand’s Ministry of Health had confirmed.
