Japanese Football Association president Kozo Tashima tested positive for COVID-19 this week after traveling to Orlando and New York with the Japanese women’s national team for the SheBelieves Cup two weeks ago.
The diagnosis came 12 days after Tashima spoke with reporters for an extended period time in a mixed zone at Exploria Stadium in Orlando on March 5. The stadium is the home venue for Orlando City and the Orlando Pride, and although neither team played a match in the stadium since the tournament, club staff were present for the SheBelieves Cup.
The incubation period for coronavirus can last anywhere from two to 14 days after exposure, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
