Prague volleyball players in Jurmala will not start due to coronavirus

Lions of Prague

“We will not play the match. I hope to fly to Prague on Thursday and I agreed with a representative of CEV (European Volleyball Confederation) that he will solve it later. It is a precedent,” coach Tomáš Pomr said in a telephone interview with the media.

The question is how the case will be resolved. “They can’t come to us at the moment, we probably won’t move here again. It will be solved. We won’t decide. We’ll wait for it to turn out. We didn’t lose on the field,” Pomr said, adding hopefully: “I would like us to be shoved. to the next round to continue somewhere. “

The operation now takes almost all the time, says volleyball boss Pakosta

The team underwent tests on the Saturday before Sunday’s departure and all with a negative result. In Latvia, Prague volleyball players passed further tests. “We trained and in the evening we learned that the two of us are positive. It was a shock for us,” Pomr said on the club’s website. “Fortunately, they are both asymptomatic. At first glance, they are fine. Unfortunately, it is not possible for them to be in isolation and the others to play,” lamented Pomr.

One of the positively tested has already undergone covid-19. Therefore, he has confirmation that he cannot be infectious. “It’s a war of doctors’ interpretations. Our doctor claims that they have high levels of long-term antibodies in the body, so there is a high presumption that they have suffered from the disease. They are not infectious, but world conditions are not uniform and depend on state action. “Quarantines were probably right for us, but it’s difficult to do sports. All sports will probably solve this,” said Pomr.

“Our frustration is huge. After we graduated so that we could travel to Jurmala, our efforts were in vain,” the coach said.

The hotel has a quarantined team on one floor and meals by lift. “Fortunately, our opponents have not forgotten us, they are helping us as best they can,” Pomr said. Players try to seize. “In one room, PlayStation is greased, in the other he watches movies. There was also a circular training in the hallway,” he described.

Originally, the people of Prague were not supposed to fly home until Sunday, but they will return via Copenhagen on Thursday evening. “We all cling to this and, above all, we hope that the two disabled people will also come with us so that they do not have to return until Sunday,” said Pomr.
