Shamier et al. 2023 in their paper "Looking back on the COVID-19 pandemic in an elite sports team using whole genome sequencing" investigate transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within a football (soccer) team by means of the gold standard method, genome sequencing of the infectious agent. This has rarely been done in sports medicine besides case reports of outbreaks within athlete groups (Tobe et al., 2000). Employment of these procedures gives the article particular value and their results (3 transmissions within an entire season) and conclusions (measures to prevent outbreaks were successful) much power.

Monkeypox: recognition and prevention in sports
