Two Chicago Cubs employees tested positive for the coronavirus.
Team spokesperson Julian Green announced as much Sunday, noting one was hospitalized and the other was recovering at home, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN). Both employees attended a training session at Wrigley Field on March 8, although Green said there was "nothing definitive" that the session "contributed to exposure."
"We know many of these associates know each other, spend time together and speak frequently so we want everyone to take the necessary precautions and follow CDC guidance even though we're not together and playing baseball," Green said when revealing the Cubs still informed staff of the positive tests Friday even though the test results weren't received until March 23 and 24.
