Management of Newcastle United Football Club in England has placed a ban on handshake at it’s training ground as the Coronavirus continues to spread.
The ban on handshake according to the club is in an attempt to guard against the spread of coronavirus.
PA media reported that the club has put a stop to morning rituals of players and staff shaking hands.
Head coach Steve Bruce revealed that “There’s a ritual here that everybody shakes hands with everybody as soon as we see each other every morning – we’ve stopped that on the advice of the doctor.
“Were like everybody else. Thankfully, we’ve got a superb doctor here and he will keep us informed of what we have to do.
“We’re like everybody else, we’re glued to the TV for where it’s going to go next and let’s hope it doesn’t get any worse in this country.”
More than 78,000 cases of the respiratory disease have been recorded including three cases in Africa so far.
Coronavirus is fast spreading across the world with the rate of spread getting faster outside of China, where the virus first broke out.
Victims of coronavirus often suffer from respiratory illness and this new strain of coronavirus was not previously identified in humans.
