PSV carries out a source and contact investigation together with the GGD Brabant-Zuidoost. The results are expected to be known at the end of the week. A PSV spokesperson emphasized on Tuesday that there are no indications of infection of people in the vicinity of the infected player.

“The risk of infection for people in the patient’s environment is limited. In the open air there is no risk of infection anyway,” lung doctor Pascal Wielders, who works at the GGD Brabant-Zuidoost, indicated on the PSV website

PSV brought Pérez to Eindhoven at the end of February as a replacement for the injured American Ricardo Pepi. The striker previously played for Deportivo La Coruña and in the past for Cádiz, Elche, Deportivo Alavés, West Ham United and Arsenal. It is not yet known how long the player cannot be used and whether he can still take action for PSV this season. He makes up for it under circumstances, PSV reported on Monday.
