In October the infection numbers had exploded so much that Belgium was found in the top 3 of the countries in Europe most affected by the corona virus. More than 20,000 new infections were registered on some days during the last week of October, with only 11.5 million inhabitants.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The government pulled the emergency brake: after the catering trade, almost all stores except supermarkets had to close. Contacts were severely restricted, members of a household were allowed to meet only one person. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The strategy proved effective. The number of cases registered in the last few days was significantly lower: on average, 4,800 new infections were recorded every day throughout the country last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lisa Lung lives in Tremelo, located between Brussels and Antwerp, and is going to school. She has completed a total of five corona tests, three of them for trips to the games in Germany. She still trains almost daily at the training center in Leuven, where Margo Degraef is still active, too.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Both feel 100% healthy despite the many risks in their environment.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Margo lives in Nijlen near Antwerp and is studying business administration. She too was able to enter Germany with negative tests<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In Belarus (White Russia), corona infections are comparatively low, only about a quarter of those in Belgium with 9.5 million inhabitants. In contrast, the political situation is more explosive with the demonstrations against President Lukashenko.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Daria Trigolos lives and studies in the capital Minsk.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">She feels good and takes care of herself by wearing masks on public transport and in stores and by disinfecting. She passed a corona test in March after she returned from a tournament in Oman and wanted to avoid quarantine. After that there was no reason for testing.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">She can do her training as usual, usually twice a day at the national training center. Fortunately, the Ministry of Sports has not imposed any restrictions, only the health of the players must be strictly monitored.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Travelling within Belarus is possible, but due to Corona many train and air connections to foreign countries are suspended. And it is really difficult to get a visa. For Germany you would probably need a police permit in advance and then go into quarantine for a few days.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">She hopes that Corona will soon be overcome and that league games and international tournaments will be possible again in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our two German players, Luisa S\u00e4ger and Jennie Wolf, naturally only have the known restrictions due to the pandemic. Luisa completes a dual training program at ABB, Jennie becomes an educator. There is of course no professional status to be spoken of.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The training possibilities are also limited accordingly, Jennie can only train once a week. Luisa is currently in an examination phase of her studies and still trains twice a week with Bj\u00f6rn Baum and players from the third Bundesliga North, who have now moved to Heidelberg. Otherwise, she keeps fit at home with running and weight training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They all hope to bring the season to a reasonable end, probably with a reduced round in which the other teams only play once each.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Translated with www.DeepL.com\/Translator (free version)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are our Bundesliga players doing in times of Corona ?
