Mandeep Singh became the sixth national hockey player to test positive for coronavirus ahead of the national camp in Bengaluru. This update was confirmed by Sports Authority of India on Monday.



He is being treated along with five other players including captain Manpreet Singh. The 25-year old team forward from Jalandhar is asymptomatic. Other than Mandeep and Manpreet, defender Surender Kumar, Jaskaran Singh, drag-flicker Varun Kumar and goalkeeper Krishan Bahadur Pathak tested positive last week after returning to the SAI Centre where the national camp is due to start on August 20.



After coming back from the break, the players were in mandatory quarantine before resumption of training at the centre. India’s COVID-19 case tally has crossed 22 lakh with the overall death toll nearing the 45,000-mark.
