More people from Valencia tested positive for coronavirus (total 35%)

According to Valencia, 35% of coronavirus tests performed on the club members returned positive.

As of Sunday, March 15, there were five positive cases in the club first-team squad and staff including Ezequiel Garay, Jose Gaya and Eliaquim Mangala as acknowledged by the LaLiga club.

However, further testing showed that there were even more positive cases within the club, who in the past month played two matches against the Italian club, Atalanta. Since that time - February 19 - Valencia estimate that the number of positive cases within the club has reached 35% of all club members.

A club statement published on Monday read: "Several further tests for the COVID-19 coronavirus among Valencia coaching staff and players have come back positive.

"All cases are asymptomatic and those involved are currently isolated at home, receiving medical assessment and carrying out their scheduled training plan.

"Despite the strict measures adopted by the club after the Champions League game against Atalanta on February 19 in Milan – an area confirmed as 'high risk' by the Italian authorities days afterwards – which included maintaining a distance between the squad and club employees/the general public, these latest results show that the exposure inherent to such matches has caused a positive test rate of around 35 per cent."

With Spain in lockdown, the previous round of LaLiga fixtures were postponed and there will be no games this weekend either.

There have been 9,682 positive cases with 342 deaths in Spain so far.
