Irish athletes returning from last weekend’s European Championships face a nervous wait in the days ahead after a member of the team tested positive for Covid-19.

The athlete, who was in action last Saturday, returned a positive PCR test after returning home and as a result, all team members who were close contacts are currently self-isolating for a period of 10 days from March 8, the day the final batch of Irish athletes travelled home.
