After five Covid-19 positive cases in Delhi Capitals camp, BCCI moves team’s next game to Mumbai

<p>
<strong>After five Covid-19 positive cases in the Delhi Capitals IPL contingent, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday has announced a change of venue for Delhi's next game of the season.</strong></p>
<p>
The Delhi Capital versus Punjab Kings match scheduled for Wednesday has been shifted from Pune's MCA Stadium to Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium to "avoid any further incident" due to any undetected case during a long-distance bus journey in a closed environment.<br />
<br />
The change of venue has been triggered due to five Covid-19 positive cases in the Delhi Capitals contingent, including Physiotherapist Patrick Farhat (tested positive on April 15), Massage Therapist Chetan Kumar (tested positive on April 16), Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh (tested positive on April 18), team doctor Abhijit Salvi (tested positive on April 18) and social media content team member Akash Mane who tested positive on April 18.<br />
<br />
"The Covid positive cases are under isolation and medical observation. They will be tested on Day 6 and 7 and subject to both the tests being negative they will be re-integrated into the Delhi Capitals bio-secured bubble," the BCCI said in a statement today.</p>
