No symptoms from McLaren employee who tested positive for Covid-19
A McLaren employee who tested positive for the coronavirus in Australia is showing no signs of symptoms while 14 other staff members in quarantine in Melbourne are doing well, the team said yesterday.
McLaren had already pulled out of F1's season-opening Australian Grand Prix as a result of the test before last weekend's scheduled race was cancelled.
The British team's employees must stay in quarantine at their hotel for two weeks.
