Phllies halt activity at stadium after positive tests for coronavirus
The Philadelphia Phillies have canceled all activities at Citizen Bank Park after a member of the coaching staff and a member of the home clubhouse staff tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Thursday.
The team said no players have tested positive.
The new positive tests come after an attendant for the visiting clubhouse tested positive earlier this week following a weekend series against the Miami Marlins, who have had 19 positive tests in the past seven days, sources confirmed.
The Phillies were supposed to host the Yankees on Monday and Tuesday and play them in New York on Wednesday and Thursday. Instead, the Yankees started a series against the Orioles on Wednesday.
Friday's game against the Blue Jays in Phladelphia had also been postponed, with a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday and another game Sunday.
