I totally get what you're saying. A negative result means good news, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of a false negative - which could be found out days later.The tests are not all the same, there are PCR tests and rapid antigen test that are being used. The PCR is still the standard. Positive tests are quite trustable, a negative test still quite reliable, but less than the other way around.
The no worries at all is a bit of bullshit. It's good that they're negative, but they can still be infected and become positive in the coming days.
However, it's not just the case of our boys from Wales. It happened many times in the Premier League:
A team plays on Sunday. On Friday, one player receives a positive test result - and this player trained with his team all week. Then, he is isolated and all the other players are tested - all negative results. Apart from the isolated player, the game on Sunday is played normally.
By the technical point of view, considering what you said, every single person involved in that game would be exposed to the virus.
Is this really the way they are doing things?
