Arsenals coach arteta tests positive for coronavirus

Mikel Arteta, the head coach of Arsenal Football Club, has tested positive for COVID-19, the club announced on March 12, 2020.

According to the club's statement, Arteta is currently self-isolating and will not be involved in the team's activities for the time being. The club has also closed its training ground and suspended all non-essential activities until further notice.

Arsenal's players and staff have been advised to follow the guidelines set by the UK Government and the Premier League, which include social distancing, hand hygiene, and avoiding large gatherings.

This news comes at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is spreading rapidly across the world, and many sports events and activities have been postponed or cancelled.

Arteta's positive test result is a significant development, as it highlights the risk of transmission of the virus in professional sports settings. The Premier League has already taken steps to mitigate the risk of transmission, including suspending matches and restricting access to training grounds.

Arsenal's players and staff will continue to follow the guidelines and protocols set by the club and the authorities to minimize the risk of transmission and ensure the health and safety of everyone involved.

It's worth noting that Arteta's positive test result is not the first instance of a footballer or coach testing positive for COVID-19. Several other footballers and coaches have also tested positive for the virus in recent weeks.

The situation is constantly evolving, and we will continue to monitor the developments and provide updates as more information becomes available.
