Why are we the only game postponed because of 'Covid'?

All other teams are playing on, so what the hell is going on with GTFC?

Answers on a postcard please before the end of the season!

“Following medical advice received from the EFL, our own medical team and in line with current Government guidelines, members of our first team playing and management staff continue to self-isolate due to a recent positive COVID-19 test being identified within the squad.

“As a result, our Sky Bet League Two fixture at home to Bradford City, scheduled for Saturday 3rd October has now been postponed.

“With the required period of self-isolation continuing into the middle of next week, our EFL Trophy fixture away at Hull City, scheduled for Tuesday 6th October has also had to be postponed."

The question is why aren’t other clubs following PHE guidelines?

Still doesn't explain why Liverpool, with 2 first teamers positive , can carry on playing.

Draw what conclusions you will but the postponements do rather suit us at the moment, injuries, more players not matchfit than enough, players who haven't even met etc etc

You are comparing apples with oranges. The EPL test staff regularly, clubs at our level can't afford to.

The PL have a different set of protocols,one of which is regular testing throughout the club structure.
Therefore if the club adheres to the protocol a player can self isolate away from the club & matches can continue.

What happens if a Premier League player tests positive?

Players or club staff who have tested positive for coronavirus will self-isolate and quarantine for a period of 10 days.

“If a player tests positive, it’s only him and his family who need to isolate, not anybody else,” confirmed the Premier League’s medical advisor, Dr Mark Gillett.

Covid-19 testing protocol lies in accordance with UK government guidelines.

Similarly, if players or staff members show symptoms of Covid-19 but test negative, they will still need to self-isolate.

My understanding is that the EFL are looking into the matter of the 3 postponements and the club is expecting a possible fine.
