Over 230 spectators of Roy-Tho big match end quarantine period

Over 230 people who went into quarantine after attending the big match played between Royal College and St. Thomas' College earlier this month, ended their quarantine period safely yesterday and no one has thus far shown any symptoms of the coronavirus, the Daily Mirror learns.

Sources said that the UL First Officer, who tested positive for the virus which led to several members from the Turf Club Tent into isolation, has also fully recovered after being successfully treated at the IDH and has now returned home.
He is among the 10 patients who was discharged from the IDH to date.
In a statement which was circulated among the Thomians and Royalists yesterday by the Old Boys Association of St. Thomas' College and Royal College, it informed all members that as the 14 day self quarantine period ended, there had thus far been no reports of anyone who had tested positive as a result of having attended the Big Match. All members however were advised to continue heeding the advice and guidance of the health authorities as the nation fought the pandemic.
Sources said that during the quarantine period, medical officers and doctors were in touch with those in isolation and were collecting their daily health updates. 
Medical doctors who are also former students of the St. Thomas' College were issuing medical advice to those under quarantine daily and all had been told to report to medical officers immediately if they developed any symptoms.
Turf Club Tent members had also immediately shared the information of all ticket holders with the Health Ministry and Epidemiology Unit soon after the UL officer tested positive, while all ticket holders were warned that if the order from authorities were not followed, they would face criminal action.
Turf Club Members also informed the ticket holders to go into quarantine the same day the UL officer tested positive. (Jamila Husain)
