The Chinese soccer team that was originally stuck in Spain because of the coronavirus outbreak is going back home to try to avoid its rapid spread in Europe.
Wuhan Zall was expected to return to China on Saturday, nearly 1 1/2 months after it arrived infor preseason training. The team had not been able to leave because of the restrictions in China, but expedited its departure because of the worsening situation in Spain.
“Things are well over there now,” José González, the team's Spanish coach, told The Associated Press on Saturday. “The Chinese league will likely start at the beginning of May. We will have to enter quarantine when we arrive, so the sooner we leave, the better.” The city of Wuhan was the epicenter of the outbreak that rapidly spread to other countries and infected more than 145,000 people worldwide, with 5,400 deaths.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existingproblems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover.
