When Brev’s team, Team FOG Næstved, finally returns to the floor tomorrow, it will be their first game in just under a month due to Covid-19.
It all started during their last game on December 7 in Randers, which is on the island of Jutland. Brev had been feeling ill going into the game but had tested negative for Covid and assumed he had a cold. Unfortunately, Team FOG lost on a lay up with few seconds remaining in the game, but little did they know that another L was coming.
Following that game, Brev continued to feel worse and decided to stay home for a few days. When Brev was feeling better and ready to get back to practice, his coach told him to stay home one more day because he wanted to make sure he came back fully healthy. That may have been the best thing to happen to him, because three of his teammates tested positive for Covid the next day (Saturday), three more tested positive on Sunday, and two more on Monday. Finally the last two players who were at practice and Brev’s coach tested positive on Tuesday. Of course, all activities (games and practices) were cancelled for the next 10 days.
In hopes to keep us healthy, Brev and I were moved into a local hotel since the two players we share a house with had Covid. We spent the next five days living in a tiny hotel room. We ordered food in and binge watched the entire Harry Potter series.
Unfortunately, this hotel quarantine didn’t help, as I ending up testing positive for Covid later that week. So, we went back to our shared house. Somehow, throughout all of this, Brev is still testing negative.
Luckily, I have had pretty mild cold-likes symptoms but am most sad about losing my taste. This week Brev again tested negative for Covid (for the 17th time!) – which is remarkable considering both me and his team have tested positive.
Thankfully, Brev’s team went back to practice on the 21st and fingers crossed that the league will proceed as normal.
Stay healthy everyone!
