Vidal faces a €57k fine for breaking protocols

Vidal faces €57k fine after he broke Chile’s quarantine protocols before testing positive for COVID. The 34-year old was allowed to meet his close family and friends. However, he broke the rules not just once but so many times. Instead of just meeting his family, he met his friends, visited a racetrack, and recorded an ad too. In fact, he also went for lunch and visited a second division team that he part-owns.

As per reports, he also spent some time with a model in his hotel room before meeting up with his teammates. The Chilean created a huge health hazard for other teammates. The COVID situation is grave across the world and Chile is still recording 6,000 cases every day. The healthy bio bubble ensures the safety of the people inside it by keeping a safe environment and least interaction with the outer world. If found guilty, Vidal will be looking at a €57k fine.
