Zoltán Török: A responsible decision was made!

I am glad that FIBA moved from their original plan, and took the teams' requests into consideration - added managing director Zoltán Török. - Although FIBA have not supported the version that our club, DVTK and the Hungarian Federation did, this arrangement is also acceptable for us! A bit of criticism towards this version may be that the number of games is low, but we also have to add that it cares about the health of players and other staff members as much as we wanted.

In connection with the decision FIBA mentioned the similar, working arrangement of the Champions League, which is promising. I think a responsible decision has been made! - concluded our managing director.

As we have reported, all players' coronavirus tests brought a negative result on Monday, but Betti Határ told us before, that she doesn't feel completely well, she doesn't have a high temperature, but her head hurts, and so according to the protocol in use at the club we separated her from the team and had another test done on her yesterday, which brought a positive result today, so Betti was put into quarantine

Ahogy arról beszámoltunk, hétfõn játékosaink koronavírus tesztje mindenkinél negatív eredményt hozott, ám Határ Betti már elõtte jelezte, hogy nem érzi teljesen jól magát, láza nincs, de fáj a feje, ezért a klubnál alkalmazott protokoll szerint elkülönítettük a csapattól, majd a tegnapi napon újra teszteltettük, ami a mai napon pozitív eredményt hozott, így Betti karanténba került
