The TVA has withdrawn the women’s team from the tournament after 22 players and officials tested positive earlier this week. The team leader announced that the results of further tests are expected next Monday.

“We will try to send a team to participate in this event. We hope our athletes are healthy and ready for this competition. If necessary, we can call other players. “

However, last year’s sales also include the first three months of 2020, which were largely unaffected by the impending pandemic and border closures.

Yuthasak said the measures could start in late June or early July if the current wave of infections “hopefully is under control”.
