Miu Hirano, who advanced to the semi-finals of the All Japan Table Tennis Championships, Women's Doubles, abstained from the tournament because the antigen test for the new coronavirus was confirmed to be positive.

According to the Japan Table Tennis Association, which hosts the tournament, Hirano had a fever of over 37 degrees 5 minutes from the night of the 28th, and the fever did not go down even in the morning of the 29th, so he voluntarily conducted an antigen test for the new coronavirus. However, it means that a positive result was confirmed.



As a result, Hirano reported that he would abstain from the tournament and was unable to participate in the scheduled women's doubles semifinals on the afternoon of the 29th.



It means that you will have a PCR test at a medical institution.



Hirano advanced to the best four in the women's doubles with Kasumi Ishikawa, who formed a pair with the Tokyo Olympics group that won the silver medal.
