- There is no risk to anyone else at the hotel as everyone in the squad is doing well. But if any of the players develop any symptoms, the person is moved to hospital and isolated there, says Jeanette Young, health director in Queensland, to the ABC television channel.
The reason for the quarantine decision is that the Chinese national team traveled through Wuhan, where the outbreak of the virus occurred, a week ago.
The message came shortly after Queensland in Australia received its first case of the corona virus, a Chinese man who traveled from Wuhan to Australia.
Due to the fear of spreading the corona virus, it has been decided that tickets for the Olympic qualifiers, which will be played on February 3-9, are not yet on sale.
The four nations that play the qualifiers are Australia, China, Taiwan and Thailand.
