Real Madrid's enforced quarantine has come to an end, although players must still self-isolate due to the measures in place across Spain. 

Madrid players were among the first to go into quarantine when basketball player Trey Thompkins tested positive for coronavirus on March 12. 

Thompkins had recently played a game against Milan for Madrid and had subsequently shared facilities at the club's Valdebebas base with a number of the club's other athletes. 

Los Blancos, therefore, were forced to place all of their players -- from all of their professional teams -- into quarantine for 15 days. 

Those 15 days have now passed and Madrid have brought an end to the enforced quarantine, with no more cases of the virus detected in that time. 

 

However, not a lot changes, with the clubs 450 athletes and 300 employees still confined to their homes due to the State of Alarm raised in Spain until at least April 11.
