An employee of Hyundai E&C’s agency for professional volleyball women’s department was confirmed to have a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) on the 25th. KOVO said on the 25th, “Tomorrow (26th), we will finally check the results of the investigation by the epidemiological investigator and the results of the Corona 19 test of the Hyundai E&C club to decide whether to proceed with the women’s division.”

On the morning of the 25th, Mr. A, an employee of Hyundai E&C’s agency for the women’s professional volleyball team, was confirmed as Corona 19. On the 20th, when the Hyundai E&C and IBK Industrial Bank matches were held, the agency employee B, who did not come to the Suwon Gymnasium, was confirmed on the 21st, and other agency employees were tested and all were negative. However, a question was found in Mr. A’s test results, and Mr. A was tested for Corona 19 again on the 24th and was confirmed positive on the 25th.

The investigating authorities saw that A worked at the Suwon Gymnasium on the 20th, but the possibility of spreading it to contacts on the same day was slim. Accordingly, the public health center classified personnel who have been in contact with Mr. A as’close contacts’. The epidemiological investigator is checking the movements from the 22nd since the confirmed person A was self-quarantine on the 21st.

On the 25th, Hyundai E&C volleyball team conducted a corona 19 test for all of the players. If it is confirmed that no additional confirmed cases have occurred in the club and that Mr. A has not been in close contact with volleyball officials after the 21st, the women’s team can play the game normally.

KOVO said, “According to the Corona 19 Response Manual, if the range of contacts does not interfere with the league progress as a result of the investigation by the epidemiological investigator, the women’s division will run normally tomorrow (26th).” There is no women’s schedule on the 25th. On the 26th, a Suwon match between Hyundai E&C and KGC Ginseng Corporation is scheduled.

Meanwhile, the V-League Men’s Division will stop the regular league for two weeks from the 23rd after Park Jin-woo, the KB Insurance Center, was confirmed as Corona 19. Accordingly, KOVO made sure that all officials who participated in the match between KB Insurance and OK Financial Group held at the Uijeongbu Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 21st were tested for Corona 19. In preparation for an unforeseen situation, not only the athletes, club officials, referees, expert members, scorers, but also referees, expert members, and scorers who did not participate in the game were inspected. The match broadcast staff was also tested. As a result of the inspection, an additional employee of the secretariat was confirmed in KB Insurance.

In the women’s department, Bruna Morais (Hungkuk Life Insurance) was quarantined for two weeks after being tested positive for Corona 19 before joining the team. However, since Bruna was quarantined before contacting V-League officials, there was no impact on the league schedule. Currently, KOVO and the women’s club are waiting for the results of an epidemiological investigator’s investigation, hoping that the corona 19 confirmation by the agency’s staff will not lead to the suspension of the league.
