Sabina Jacobsen was recently home in Sweden and greeted, but last Friday her Russian club CSKA Moscow called and asked her to fly home as soon as possible. This is because of the fear that Russia will close its borders due to the spread of the corona virus.
Once in Russia, the Swedish team captain quarantined.
- It wasn't because I was sick or so, but because I was outside Russia. It's tough to be alone in a second and get the time to go. But I keep going and exercise once a day, cook and such. The apartment has never been as clean as it is now, Jacobsen tells SVT Sport.
Despite the corona eruption, CSKA Moska has trained as usual, but without its defense specialist. Today, however, the club announced that all players are quarantined.
- I don't really know why, but it's good for reducing the spread. The girls have been training all week, today too, but now everyone has been told that they will stay home until March 28th.
Jacobsen says that she feels that the corona situation is handled differently among people in Sweden and Russia.
- In Sweden, there were almost no people out and a lot is starting to close down, you notice a big difference. In Russia, everyone is moving outside and, on the whole, you do not notice it at all in the same way as in Sweden, but it may be because Russia is a little behind in the spread of infection.
