A few days ago, the Chinese women's basketball team, which completed the World Preliminary Round task, had to temporarily stay in Serbia due to the epidemic, and 10 people in the team were confirmed to be infected with the new crown. In recent days, as the girls have reported safety to the outside world through social media, the fans' hanging hearts have finally been relaxed.
In the first half of this month, the Chinese women's basketball team participated in the 2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifiers in Belgrade, Serbia, and finally successfully qualified for the Women's Basketball World Cup to be held in Australia in September this year with three wins and the first place in the group. However, on the 14th, in the routine nucleic acid test before returning to China, 2 members of the Chinese women's basketball team tested positive for the new crown, and the other 24 people tested negative. At that time, the Chinese Basketball Association sought help from the Chinese Embassy in Serbia, and in accordance with the mainland entry regulations and the requirements of FIBA and the epidemic prevention department of the Game, postponed the trip back to China, and the whole team was isolated and observed on the spot. On the 17th, the Chinese Basketball Association issued another announcement confirming that 7 new positives were added to the visiting team, and 1 more was added the next day, a total of 10 people were tested for infection, and one person was admitted to the hospital for treatment. According to previous reports, the person admitted to the hospital has been discharged from the hospital, and one person has turned negative on the 20th.
A few days ago, Yang Shuyu, Yang Liwei, and Li Meng all sent a Microblog to report safety to the outside world, and Yang Shuyu said that the Chinese Embassy in Serbia or the women's basketball team have provided a good guarantee. In addition, the local Chinese in Serbia also formed a women's basketball volunteer alliance and took the initiative to provide logistics support for women's basketball girls such as medicine, diet and so on.
At present, it is reported that after all the team's infection cases turn negative and all the nucleic acids meet the standards, the Chinese Basketball Association will consider bringing the whole team back in the form of charter flights. After all, under the epidemic situation, international flights are not easy to buy tickets, and when you buy tickets, you may not be able to fly. There are cases of Guoan playing in the AFC Champions League and nine people stranded in Uzbekistan for up to five months due to the infection with the new crown, and the charter flight is indeed the safest way for the whole team to return safely.
