All-rounder Ivona Dadic has entered quarantine after a positive coronavirus test. The best of the year in heptathlon was on Thursday on his way to Vienna-Schwechat airport, where he was about to travel to Brussels for the Diamond League match, when he learned the result of the test.
“Yesterday I had a PCR test and this afternoon they informed me of the positive result. I am completely symptom free, but the presence of the Covid-19 virus has been determined, “Dadic reported.
A test from his coach Philipp Unfried, on the other hand, came back negative. As a precautionary measure, Dadic, 26, spent ten days in voluntary self-isolation in St. Pölten before the general state championships in Götzis, to avoid an infection and not jeopardize the start in Götzis.

The positive test for Covid-19 is even more surprising, he said in the Austrian Athletics Association broadcast. At Götzis last weekend, Dadic set an annual world record in the heptathlon with 6,419 points.
At the Diamond League meeting in Brussels, starts with hurdles of more than 100 meters and high jump were planned. It would have been Dadic’s highly anticipated debut in the Diamond League.
