Sam Querrey and his family have Covid-19. Fearing the Russian authorities, the tennis star fled across the border in a private jet.
Excitement in Russia! The American tennis professional Sam Querrey tested positive for the corona virus at the ATP tournament in St. Petersburg.
The number 49 in the world had come with his wife and their child. All three are reportedly Corona-positive.
Escape in a private jet
The family has now violated the corona rules and left the country in a hurry. The tennis professional and his loved ones let themselves be flown across the border in a private jet. Where? It is not known. The Querreys are submerged in a nearby European country.
The break in insulation causes trouble in Russia and at ATP. What’s behind the escape? Querrey was scared.
Ben Rothenberg, a journalist for the New York Times, reports that the 33-year-old planned to adhere to the 14-day self-isolation. He said the family received a call from the Russian health authorities that changed their mind.
Fear of being hospitalized
The caller informed her that the family would be hospitalized if anyone showed symptoms. Since the Querreys show mild symptoms, they would have been afraid of being admitted to hospitals separately in Russia. Fear of being separated from their eight-month-old son caused the family to flee.
Now the tennis player threatens hard consequences. A ban of up to three years is possible. The ATP announced an investigation.
