The SHA said one or more people sat near the front of the bus as they were infected on the way to the stadium at 6:30 pm and on their way back to Birmingham at 11:30 pm on 6 August.

“The search for contacts is in progress; however, as the people in question were traveling on shuttles with people unknown to them and probably within six feet, and were not wearing masks, contact tracing was difficult, ”the SHA wrote in a statement.
