COVID TESTING

Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere already:

From yesterday's Lancashire Evening Post

Preston North End squad and backroom staff to undergo Covid-19 tests after member of coaching team shows symptoms | Lancashire Evening Post (lep.co.uk)

Four of the coaches went into self-isolation ahead of the FA Cup defeat to Wycombe after one of them displayed symptoms of the virus.

It left staff numbers thin on the ground at Adams Park, with manager Alex Neil only having the help of assistant keeper coach Jack Cudworth and the fitness coaches.

Those isolating include Steve Thompson, Mike Pollitt, Frankie McAvoy and Paul Gallagher, although medical confidentiality means the individual with symptoms isn’t being identified.

The individual concerned has been tested and the result being awaited......

He’s said some of the players maybe missing on Saturday because of this, so hopefully not too disastrous

yes interesting comment..... may only be 1 or 2 players affected plus some backroom staff - but not the ones who had to isolate before the Wycombe match i.e. the coaches...

I guess we wont know until 2pm or 3 pm Saturday but the players 'might be the ones' about to be sold !? 😉
The backroom staff might be the physio's..... which will make it interesting as they are legally forced to be represented pitch side. ( I'll keep my phone handy)

I got tested for work reasons during the week. I learnt two things:

a) The swab that goes down the back of your throat is the same one that is used to go up your nose.
b) After years of just using my finger to insert into my nose, I was amazed how far I could get the swab up. Felt like it was nudging my eyeball.

(Results came through via text within 48hrs - negative, in case anyone was wondering.)
