This is on top of the city being put in lockdown due to an outbreak in the city.

Despite this, they're still going to carry on playing.
Aren't they putting players at risk? And since people (players, coaches, medical staff, etc.) will travel, isn't there a chance of spreading it further?
Could we see the same happening to teams in the PL?

Not gonna argue it should be called off, but with whats going on in Aberdeen it would make sense surely?

There's going to be local spikes, if we call off every game that involves a team in that area the next season is going to be even more of a mess than this one.
The governing body have put in the money to have their footballers and staff rigirously tested (plus I imagine the ground is cleaned 50x over) with the intention of carrying on throughout this crisis, footballers are arguably the safest people in the world right now.

But then they go fck it up by going to the busiest bars in the City
However, are we really bothered about the season being a mess, rather than worry about spikes?

If they get themselves infected then they get isolated and miss games, it's just added to the list of things a player can be absent for.
The mass testing funded by the governing body is to avoid these dominoes effects, quarantine positive results and let the negatives get on with it, it's worked perfectly well so far.

The latest on Scottish club Aberdeen is that eight of their players have to isolate due to Covid after contracting it in a bar following Saturday's defeat to Rangers. #GraniteCity #Covid19
