Hockey Captain Manpreet & Four Others Covid-19 Positive

This is the first time that high profile Indian athletes have returned positive tests at the same time.

All of them had recently returned to the SAI campus in Bengaluru after going on a break for more than a month. Upon returning, they were administered rapid Covid-19 tests before the players were asked to quarantine in their respective rooms for a two week period according to state government rules. Even though all five had returned negative results on the rapid test, as Manpreet and Surender had developed symptoms, they undertook the RTPCR test on Thursday. The results were conveyed to SAI by the state government, according to a press release by SAI.
