A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from NUFC 360 which has relayed news from The Telegraph concerning the Toon.
It is claimed that Newcastle face an outbreak of the current viral pandemic with two more people returning positive results.
This means that Newcastle now have five positive tests and there are fears that the number will grow.
This has drawn the attention of these Toon fans.
So, what did these Newcastle fans think of this news concerning their club?
If one club was going to have mass infections

Probably from sharing the padding pool after the game.

Do you think the game against Aston Villa should be suspended?
Yes, they will have an unfair advantage
No, we can cope
Other Newcastle supporters, though, discussed if their game with Aston Villa would be postponed.
Surely the game Friday will be postponed???

Am sure the only way a game is cancelled is when a squad has 13 players in the whole unavailable with the virus. I know that’s the case in Italy so presume it’s the same all through europe

The identities of the players and/or staff members remain confidential unless they specifically choose to reveal themselves, so it is unclear who has tested positive in the Newcastle camp.
However, the Toon’s game against Villa is likely to go ahead unless Newcastle have less than 14 players available, including under-21s, so they will just have to hope that they return no further positive results.
As of this moment, Newcastle have not returned any more positive results, so we hope they have managed to contain the outbreak.
