According to the latest information released by the Zadar epidemiological team on Monday morning, four tennis players and two coaches have been so far diagnosed with coronavirus after Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov reported that he was positive for this infectious disease on Sunday evening.

One of the latest cases is Croatian tennis player Borna Coric who confirmed the news on his Twitter account and called on all persons who have been in contact with him in the last few days to get tested.

Coric says that he is sorry “for any harm” he might have caused and added that he is feeling well and has no symptoms.

As soon as Dimitrov, who played in Novak Djokovic’s Adria Tour event in Zadar, stated on Sunday evening that he had tested positive for coronavirus, the local epidemiological authorities in Zadar called on all people who had stayed in contact with the tennis player more than 10 minutes, to self-isolate.

On Monday morning, the local coronavirus crisis response team said that in the last few hours, 1,023 people had been tested, and that they had organised the accommodation for self-isolation of Dimitrov’s contacts in Zadar.
