The Mets returned to work on Monday, practicing at Citi Field and preparing for a busy stretch of games after four postponements in a row. A player and a staff member tested positive last week for the coronavirus, but the team said Monday that no other staff members or players had tested positive since then. General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen said the two people who tested positive had remained in Miami, where the team played the Marlins last week. “Both ultimately did become symptomatic, but their symptoms have for the most part resolved, and the peak of their challenges existed more in a 36-hour period of time,” Van Wagenen said on Monday. “We’re feeling much more comfortable about their safety.”The Mets have not identified the player and the staff member who tested positive.
