In a statement late Saturday night, the Mets announced that all players who were part of the travel party that returned to New York from Miami on Thursday and those close contacts that stayed in Miami all tested negative for COVID-19.
The full statement read:
“The New York Mets today announced that COVID-19 tests taken on Thursday night and again on Friday morning by the entire travelling party that returned to New York from Miami late Thursday night are all negative. Test results of close contacts for those that remained in Miami also came back negative. The entire Mets traveling party will continue to be tested daily and remain in self-isolation. We will await further scheduling information from MLB and continue to provide updates when available.”
This news comes as a sigh of relief, as we know that one position player and one staff member of the organization tested positive for COVID-19. The last game in Miami was postponed, as well as the Subway Series that was supposed to happen this weekend.
Needless to say, it is extremely good to hear that no other Mets have tested positive for COVID-19. Let’s hope that it stays that way.
