South Africa's rugby national team has a new crown outbreak and the warm-up match has been cancelled
2021-07-12
(Fighting new crown pneumonia) South Africa's rugby national team broke out with new crown epidemic
Chinanews.com, Johannesburg, July 7 (Reporter Wang Xi) The South African Rugby National Team held an emergency press conference on the 7th to announce that due to a number of athletes and staff in the team and opponents who were diagnosed with the new crown pneumonia, the South African team will be playing at home in Johannesburg. Georgia's second warm-up match was forced to cancel.
After winning the Rugby World Cup in 2019, the South African team cancelled the annual international competition schedule in the following year due to the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. In order to ensure the status of the team, entering 2021, the South African team successfully invited the world's strongest teams such as Georgia and Ireland to South Africa for a series of warm-up matches.
In the first warm-up match that ended last week, the South African team, which had a home advantage, defeated Georgia by a big score of 40:9. However, in the next few days, five South African team players, head coach Jacques Ninabel, five members of the management team and one masseur tested positive for the new crown pneumonia virus. In addition, four athletes from the Georgian team have also been tested to be infected with the new crown pneumonia virus.
Such a large-scale infection caused the South African team to cancel the second warm-up match originally scheduled for the 9th of this month. At present, the infected members and staff of the South African team have been treated in isolation. The South African team leader Lockes said that although the decision is frustrating, in the face of life safety issues, it is necessary to cancel the rugby game.
Currently, South Africa is at the peak of the third wave of COVID-19. As of press time, the total number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in South Africa has reached 2,090,909, with 62,628 deaths, making it the most severely affected country on the African continent. In response to the epidemic, the South African government is currently carrying out a nationwide large-scale vaccination work. At present, nearly 4 million people have been vaccinated. (Finish)
