PT1 Dear fans, Unfortunately I have to announce that I tested positive on COVID19. During the match I didn’t have any symptoms, but afterwards I started to realise that I was developing a shortness of breath and fever.
Van Barneveld tests positive for Covid-19 after PDC World Darts Championship defeat
PDCFriday, 24 December 2021 at 22:56
Raymond van Barneveld was dumped out of the PDC World Darts Championship by Rob Cross on the final night of action before Christmas and has now tested positive for Covid-19.
Van Barneveld said in a statement on social media that he didn't have symptoms while playing but afterwards, he developed a shortness of breath and a fever.
He followed that up by saying he called his manager, Ben de Kok and went straight to his hotel room hence why he didn't do any interviews post match and he has already spoken to his opponent and the PDC.
He will now quarantine in the UK before aiming to return to the Netherlands when he tests negative.
PT2 I directly called my manager Ben de Kok and he advised to go straight to my hotel room and to not give interviews in order to avoid any risk. At the moment I do suffer from fever and serious tiredness. The upcoming days I will stay in quarantine at Londen.
PT3 We already spoke with Rob Cross and the PDC about the current situation. Stay safe. P.S. I am not available for any interviews. For further questions please contact my manager.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
