Liverpool FC is currently completing a training camp in Pinzgau, Salzburg. As the “Kronenzeitung” reported online on Tuesday with reference to British sources, a member of the English soccer champions has now tested positive for the corona virus. It was initially unclear whether it was a player and where the person could have been infected with the virus.
In response to an APA request on Tuesday afternoon, the state of Salzburg only confirmed one positive case with a member of the team – and did not provide any details because of data protection. “The person concerned is currently in quarantine in the hotel,” said a spokeswoman for the country.
In addition, a contact person outside of the team was also segregated and the Liverpool FC quarters were provided with emergency plans.

Salzburg hotel completely sealed off
All those responsible for the club are completely isolated from the public in the Brandlhof, and no spectators are allowed during the training sessions. It is still unclear whether the infection will have an impact on a planned test match against Red Bull Salzburg.
According to the – usually well informed – “Liverpool Echo”, the club is silent on the matter. However, it is assumed that the training camp will continue as normal because Klopp is trying to get his protégés in shape before defending the Premier League title.
