He further said Kamaljit had developed symptoms and was immediately isolated.
OFC's last match against ATK Mohun Bagan on Saturday had to be postponed after a player in the Mariners camp tested positive in the first official case of COVID-19 in the tournament being held in Goa in a tight bio-bubble.

But since then there have been growing concerns about possible spread of COVID-19 inside the bubble with four top ATK Mohun Bagan players also testing positive.
Also on Sunday, FC Goa were forced to cancel their training session after a player was feared to have tested positive.
Thereafter, three FC Goa players and a member of the coaching staff were sent into isolation after their reports showed contrasting results.
