Hello,
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a genetic abnormality. You just get a basic ECG and Echo test done for basic screening. Its a rare condition and just because some footballer had it does not mean you should stop playing football. You can do all exercise that you want.

In a suspected case of HCM, screening test is by echocardiogram and confirmation is Cardiac MRI with special focus on SAM, LVOT Gradient, Septal thickness and fibrosis score.
It's not a post Covid thing usually.
