‘Walsh likely caught virus in Caribbean’
Article by January 19, 2021
Dr Akshai Mansingh, a member of Cricket West Indies’ medical advisory committee, believes leg-spinning all-rounder, Hayden Walsh Jr, contracted COVID-19 before he left the Caribbean.
The Jamaican, also a CWI director, said the incubation period for the novel coronavirus was between five and seven days, and pointed out that Walsh tested negative before departing the Caribbean and negative again on arrival in Bangladesh last Sunday.
However, the 28-year-old returned a positive test three days later, with a follow-up test confirming the positive result.
“If you go back five to seven days, you’d recognise this was picked up when he was in the Caribbean and not en route or obviously not while in Bangladesh,” Dr Mansingh told CBC TV 8 Sports.
