The Chilean health authorities have opened an administrative investigation on Arturo Vidal, who tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday, to find out if he has violated the protocols and quarantines that regulate footballers. According to the Undersecretary of Health, Paula Daza – we read on Sports world – the players who participate in international tournaments are protected by a “health bubble”, a protocol that allows them to skip the quarantine in order to comply with their professional obligations. “This does not allow them to make other trips or social gatherings or other meetings other than those related to their profession,” added Daza.
In fact, a series of photos have circulated in the Chilean media depicting Vidal having dinner in a restaurant. The Inter midfielder will be forced to miss Chile’s two qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup against Argentina and Bolivia and risks a $ 400 to $ 14,500 fine.
