ASUNCION (Reuters) - The Bolivian and Chilean football teams announced more positive COVID-19 tests among players or staff on Thursday, meaning four out of 10 competing teams have been hit only days into the Copa America.

Venezuela and Colombia had already suffered positive cases in the June 13-July 10 South American tournament being held in Brazil, one of the world's worst-affected nations.

Martins launched a tirade against the South American Football Confederation , accusing them of organizing the tournament for financial reasons without care for players. Brazil agreed to host the Copa with only two weeks notice after co-hosts Colombia were removed due to civil unrest and Argentina pulled out because of a COVID-19 surge there.
