The anticipation for a premiere was great, just as great is the horror of the number 1 in the list of the best in the world of heptathlon, Ivona Dadic. Upper Austria was heading to the airport on Thursday afternoon and was shocked when it was informed about its positive test for SARS-CoV-2.
In reality, it should only have been the routine test demanded by the organizers before the start of the Diamond League meeting in Brussels, where the duels in the 100-meter hurdles and high jump were scheduled. “I had a PCR test done on Wednesday and I was informed of the positive result this afternoon. I am completely free of symptoms, but the presence of the COVID-19 virus was determined, “said Dadic, surprised. The test carried out at the same time by his coach Philipp Unfried, with whom he had been in constant contact during the last days, not only in the general state championships, it was negative.
Voluntary self-isolation before general competition
The 26-year-old spent the time after the individual state championships in Südstadt in Austria and the last ten days before the general state championships in Götzis in voluntary self-isolation in St. Pölten. He took this step deliberately, without contacting his boyfriend, family members or anyone other than his technical team, to avoid contagion and not jeopardize the exit in Götzis. The positive COVID-19 test is even more surprising.
On Friday morning, the health authorities will contact Ivona Dadic again to discuss the next steps. One thing is clear: instead of Brussels, there is now a quarantine.
