Although the second wave of the epidemic in Japan is more severe than the first wave, the T-League still starts on November 17 and is scheduled to be open to spectators in January next year. However, just today, the TT Caiyu team announced a bad news, the main player Kenta Matsudaira tested positive for the new crown and has fever symptoms.
According to the official information of T.T Caiyu, Kenta Matsudaira confirmed a fever of 38.1 degrees in the temperature check on the morning of the 27th, and after receiving a PCR nucleic acid test, although there was a positive test result on the 28th, the body temperature has dropped to 36.7 degrees and his physical condition is good. The players and staff members who came into contact with Matsudaira after the 24th were all nucleic acid negative.
Kenta Matsudaira previously played three singles matches in the tournaments that had already been played, winning two. At present, the club's practice area has been fully disinfected.
According to the latest news from Japan's Kyodo News Agency, the T League organizers said that the follow-up league will proceed as planned. The decision had to raise concerns about whether a single nucleic acid test would adequately assess the infection status of other club members. In addition, the T-League is also ready to open for ticket sales in December, and the first audience will enter in January. On November 28, the number of newly confirmed COVID-19 infections in Japan exceeded 2,600, a new single-day high.
