Scottish football club sets up disinfectant tunnel for players at stadium

Football clubs are looking at a coronavirus prevention system developed at Hamilton Accies’ stadium to help players keep Covid-19 at bay.

The Premiership club have unveiled a disinfectant tunnel at the stadium, one of the first in the country.

The 1.5m by 2.2m chamber, which is 1.8m long, sprays a fine mist of diluted acid on to the players to kill the virus on clothes and skin. It comes after we revealed the Lanarkshire club had also put in airport-style fever cameras to identify Covid-19 risks among players and fans.

The system is the brainchild of Darren Cross, 44, who runs his Core Physio business from the stadium, and local businessman Paul Donnelly, 58.

Darren said: “Combined with the temperature camera, it will really give the players peace of mind that the risks are being minimised.”
