Players from Chile's squad at Copa America violated the tournament's coronavirus protocols after a “barber visited the players' hotel" in the Brazilian city of Cuiaba.

The Chilean soccer federation issued a statement saying it recognises the violation of the health bubble of the squad participating at Copa America, with the unauthorised entry of a barber who, despite his negative PCR test, "should not have made contact with the players”.

The Chilean federation did not give the number or names of players involved, but said they will be fined, according to AP.
