Under original guidelines the players were permitted to leave their hotels for up to five hours to train. All passengers were required to return negative tests before boarding the flight, but two tested positive upon arrival. American Tennys Sandgren, who was cleared to fly when his positive test was not deemed to be contagious, was also believed to be on board.
