Was he aware that he was carrying the virus on Friday ?

I don't believe so. He's posted on social media this morning saying he has been 'visited' by the virus but is getting treament.

Thought it was interesting as could have implications not just for the people of Nottingham who could have been potentially exposed this weekend. Also the implications for the Championship could be quite large. Forest players have been exposed, they passed it onto Milwall players etc.

He's also the owner of Olympiakos who are due to play Wolves in the Europa league soon...

I don’t think he was being a smart **** tbf just making a funny comment. It is an informative thread and I’m sure people are interested
 
The implications are that if players do get the virus then football could well be suspended immediately.

Players are bound to get it aren't they? They will just have to self isolate like anyone else.
As far as I'm aware you don't automatically get this just by coming into contact with someone else who had it.
 
It's already been confirmed he met the players before the game on Friday night. Olympiakos have also confirmed the players are going to hospital to be tested so would assume this would be the case for the Forest players too. Arsenal have released a statement saying none of their staff have reported any symptoms after playing Olympiakos in the Europa League. Wonder if we will hear something similar from Boro?

Probably not, I think our Europa League days are behind us.

Haha, I meant with us playing Forest more recently than Arsenal have played Olympiakos. Arsenal have released a statement and confirmed certain areas are to be deep cleaned.

This much is true. It’s nowhere near as contagious as, say, norovirus. Not even in the same ballpark. Which is lucky because it’s significantly more deadly.
 
Breaking news: Darren Anderton will not be available for selection due to the Corona virus. He's self isolating and has asked for people to refer to him as 'Self Cert' from this point forward ;)

On average 2.6 people are onwardly infected, which I was a bit surprised at.
