ShoonyaSifar Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 It's going to be a real logistical nightmare for BCCI organising IPL when the country has suddenly entered into a second wave. Let's use this thread to track the covid related issues in the tournament. Praying for the cases to subside soon and for the tournament to go ahead without any glitches So far we have had just Nitish Rana's case being disclosed (now negative and back with the squad) Today there are reports of 8 groundsmen at Wankhede testing positive.
ShoonyaSifar Posted April 3, 2021 Author Posted April 3, 2021 Now Axar Patel has tested positive. Hopefully he was in quarantine as he was not with the Indian team bubble for ODIs.
Suhaan Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 How would they pull off,when nearly 90k cases are coming and only increasing with each day? BCCI should reconsider its decision holding it in desired time speedheat 1
ShoonyaSifar Posted April 3, 2021 Author Posted April 3, 2021 11 minutes ago, Ankit_sharma03 said: The good thing is BCCI has a separate bio-bubble for ground staff with same protocol as for the players and officials. Two of those who tested positive have already returned negative tests. That's encouraging. With people coming into bio-bubbles from outside, in the initiay days, there will be cases. But gradually things become under control like we saw in last IPL. I just hope they can keep the team owners and their family away from these bio-bubbles

These owners and their gang of family and friends will present the biggest challenge.

In PSL, the owners were calling the shots. PCB was a puppet.
AuxiliA Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 They must remove all games from Maharashtra. Covid has exploded there. Must not take any chances.
kosingh Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Paddikal also tested positive. Hope this doesn't end up like PCL.

All this is pre-tournament when most players joining the bubble from outside are still in quarantine having joined only a few days back. All depends on how strictly BCCI enforces the bubble SoPs once the tournament starts.

So no cases from inside the bubble.
ShoonyaSifar Posted April 5, 2021 Author Posted April 5, 2021 As per Outlook magazine, 14 staff members of the Four Seasons Hotel in Mumbai have tested positive. This is the hotel were the TV feed production screw is in a bubble for crew members. Again complete details not yet available whether these are old cases or fresh ones.
