Mashrafe Mortaza detects positive for Covid-19 twice in span of 15 days

Former Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza has tested positive for coronavirus for the second time in span of 15 days, BCB chief physician confirmed Saturday.

Mortaza, who plays only ODIs and had stepped down from captaincy earlier this year, had contracted the disease last month. He had confirmed the news via a Facebook



post on June 20.

“There is no reason to panic. He will give another test on eighth (8 July) and he might be cleared at that point of time. In most cases the patient is cleared by 14 days but that is not mandatory. Someone might take more time,” BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
