The people of Žalgiris are constantly screened for COVID-19. All team members were screened prior to last week’s trip to and from Greece ahead of Sunday’s Betsafe-LKL match. The results of both tests were negative for all team members.

As the match with Chimki approached, Žalgiris’s people were checked again on Wednesday. On Thursday morning, Žalgiris received a message that the test responses from all the team members were negative. However, just before the team started their trip to Russia, a revised message was received that an error had occurred in the Lauvergne test response and that the test was positive.

Mr. Lauvergne was immediately isolated from the team, which took all necessary security measures. The remaining team members were tested again, again with negative results.

For the French himself, the new test will be repeated on Friday. Lauvergne did not experience any of the symptoms of a coronavirus and remained isolated at home. Marekas Blaževičius replaced him in the twelve of the team that go to Russia.

Upon returning from Moscow, the people of Žalgiris will be tested again for COVID-19.

On Sunday, the residents of Kaunas await the Betsafe – LKL match on a trip with Kėdainiai “Nevėžis”, and next week – even two Euroleague matches. On Tuesday, “Žalgiris” will play a match in Belgrade with the team “Crvena Zvezda”, and on Thursday, the Euroleague is scheduled to start at the “Žalgiris” stadium, when the Istanbul basketball players “Anadolu Efes” will arrive in Kaunas. .
