In the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, two groups of qualifiers were hosted by Belgrade, Serbia, and the remaining two groups were hosted by Osaka, Japan and Washington, D.C. (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic). The Chinese women's basketball team and the same group of opponents in the world fifth ranked France, women's basketball Africa Cup runner-up Mali team and African Eagles Nigeria were divided into the division. The Chinese women's basketball team performed very well in the game, successfully qualifying for the World Cup in Australia with a record of three wins.
But what is heart-wrenching is that after the news that 2 people were positive for nucleic acid appeared on February 14 when the national women's basketball team was about to return home, there were 7 new cases of positive nucleic acid today. He should have been happy to go home, but now he has to self-isolate in the hotel. It should be known that the Chinese women's basketball team participated in the World Cup qualifiers this time, with a total of 14 players and 12 other staff members, and only 26 people traveled in total.
As soon as this matter was fermented on the Internet, it immediately attracted the attention of all sectors of society, and the Chinese Basketball Association also reported the situation to the Embassy of Serbia at the first time, and determined that a green channel for the team to be treated was opened, and timely treatment was provided according to the needs of the team. Beijing You'an Hospital was urgently requested to appoint 7 experts, including the president, vice president, director of the medical affairs department, director of the infection department, and director of the infection control department, to form a team to provide remote diagnosis and treatment guidance and consulting services; the territorial regulations for nucleic acid testing on the first, fourth, seventh and fourteenth days were adjusted to one test per day.
For the unexpected situation of the Chinese women's basketball team participating in the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese Basketball Association also said that it will mobilize all forces to help the team defeat the epidemic as soon as possible and bring the girls of the Chinese women's basketball team back to China safely as soon as possible. At the same time, the Chinese Basketball Association also expressed its gratitude to the fans for their concern and support for the Chinese women's basketball team.
Affected by the epidemic, the World Cup qualifier is the first international competition played by the Chinese women's basketball team in half a year. The women's basketball girls can be said to be a happy three-game winning streak in terms of results. But the fact that so many people in the team are positive for nucleic acid is a very heart-wrenching thing. Here, I wish the Chinese women's basketball team a speedy recovery, return to normal life training, and cheer for the World Cup in September!
