Elche has also been affected by the wave of COVID-19 cases in LaLiga after the Christmas holidays. The entity from Elche has announced the detection of “12 positive cases among the first team squad, subsidiary and technical staff”, after the tests carried out between Monday of last week and this Tuesday.
