[Asia News Communication = Reporter Reakkana] SEOUL -- The South Korean women's volleyball league will proceed as normal on Friday, with no more infections reported after an event staffer tested positive for COVID-19 this week.
The Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO) said Friday evening's match between Hyundai E&C Hillstate and Korea Ginseng Corp. will be played as scheduled. The league office confirmed on Thursday that an employee of an agency handling game day events and operations had tested positive for the coronavirus after working a game between Hyundai E&C Hillstate and IBK Altos last Saturday. All Hyundai players and coaches tested negative, and KOVO determined, following epidemiological investigations, that the infected individual had been properly isolated this week.
KOVO suspended the men's competition for two weeks effective Tuesday, a few hours after KB Insurance Stars center Park Jin-u tested positive for the virus. A front office employee for KB has also been infected. The men's league is scheduled to resume on March 9.
