The Serie A club has been the hardest hit by far during the second wave of the pandemic, with 22 cases including 17 players.
The pace at which the virus spread throughout the squad was particularly alarming and clues are beginning to emerge as to why.
It’s reported in the Corriere della Sera newspaper that the Genoa training ground at Pegli has structural defects that make it easier for a virus to be transmitted.

It’s reported in the Corriere della Sera newspaper that the Genoa training ground at Pegli has structural defects that make it easier for a virus to be transmitted.
Specifically, there are no windows in the locker rooms, allowing for very little ventilation.
The showers are also an issue, with no barriers dividing players, making it easy for the virus to spread from one person to another.
