A statement issued by Parma read: ‘’At the end of the tests, all the members of the team group tested negative for the two swabs of COVID-19 carried out within 24 hours, except for two players who tested positive for the first swab and negative for the second.
‘’The players are both in excellent physical and asymptomatic conditions, however, they were placed in immediate isolation and the club will keep them constantly monitored.’’
