Raymond van Barneveld has tested positive for the corona virus after his elimination from the world championship. the federation has not yet commented on the consequences.
Van Barneveld made his positive test public late on christmas eve via twitter. in the match on the day before christmas against former world champion Rob Cross, the dutchman had not yet felt any symptoms, it says in the message.
the darts federation PDC has not yet commented on the consequences of the positive test...
There is no news yet from the darts federation itself. But I think the chances are quite high that Cross will need to withdraw for the tournament and also go in quarantine. Would be pity for Cross as he played a good match against van Barneveld and he could maybe go on for a long way in the tournament.
Van Barneveld is no longer the player he used to be in his glory years. Still, that first set he threw was of a high standard. He also missed many doubles to throw out legs. Too bad, because he had been looking forward to the World Cup all year. Another chance next year. I don't think Cross will win the tournament. Van Gerwen or Price's I guess.
