Two Cubs employees tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a training session at Wrigley Field earlier this month.
In an email sent to associates Friday, the Cubs informed their staff that two people, who participated in a March 8 training in the team’s premier clubs, have tested positive for the contagious virus. The tests were received last Monday and Tuesday — 15 and 16 days after the workshop.
The incubation period for the virus is currently thought to be 14 days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The team has reached out and offered support to both employees, the email said.
The Cubs closed their Chicago facilities after Major League Baseball postponed Opening Day to limit the spread of the coronavirus. As of now, the league and the MLB Players Association are hoping to start a season in early June, though everything remains fluid.
