NEIL LENNON has told the media the preventative measures now in place to make sure the health of his players is at minimal risk during the coronavirus outbreak.
The virus has spread all throughout the world and preventative measures have been put in place in different countries: some mild and some very extreme.
Right now, there’s a laid back approach in the UK, but it’s something which is being monitored.
One thing the club have made clear is during this outbreak the players and coaching staff must refuse shaking hands and selfies with supporters.
This is to stop the spread and potentially making the team unwell.
“There are executive meetings every morning and medical staff are briefed every morning on what shouldn’t happen.” Neil Lennon told SunSport.
“We’ve been told not to shake hands with people or stop for selfies or photographs.
“That’s not us meaning to be rude or anything like that; it’s just to avoid the spread.
“We have to protect the players and the staff here as much as we can. It is very important.”
Usually, you get many Celtic fans asking for pictures and autographs of their heroes as they go about their day to day lives and the players will probably feel bad for refusing requests. At this point, it’s the right decision to make. With Celtic heading into the business end of this campaign, nothing can be risked.
