German side Cologne have announced that three members of staff have tested positive for coronavirus.

Koln returned to training on April 6 along with several other Bundesliga clubs, doing so in small groups and with hygiene measures enforced so as to limit the spread of COVID-19.

However, they released a statement on Friday evening confirming they had three positive tests.

The unnamed trio have not showed any symptoms and will now go into self-isolation for two weeks, undergoing more tests in the meantime.

Despite that, Koln say group training ‘can continue as planned’, with Tim Meyer – head of the Bundesliga’s coronavirus taskforce – in full support.

“We now see in everyday life that our concept recognises and reduces risks at an early stage,” Meyer, who holds a similar position for UEFA, told the club’s official website.

“We will always be in close contact with the responsible health authorities and medical experts.

“We are convinced that with our concept, we can enable players to practice their profession with the best possible protection against infection.”
