Dynamics of the return of the harbor's foreign aid
On June 24, the Morning Post revealed the latest situation of the two foreign aiders of the Harbour team, Oscar and Muy. The pair's debut in the Chinese Super League this season is fraught with many uncertainties.
It is reported that Oscar is about to complete the last seven days of the "14 + 7" home health monitoring, and complete the entire process of epidemic prevention and isolation in Shanghai. Next, the team's core foreign aid will strive to meet with Dalian as soon as possible. Some sources say that Oscar may first fly to Hainan, and then transit to Dalian.
According to Hainan's latest immunization policy, Shanghai arrivals like Oscar only need a nucleic acid test and seven days of self-health monitoring after landing, as long as they don't come from the three districts of Jing'an, Baoshan and Putuo. This means that Oscar can find a suitable place to train locally and return to the team in good physical condition.
Oscar's return is fraught with uncertainty, as today marks not only the end of his quarantine, but also the downgrading of the last medium-risk zone in Pudong New Area to a low-risk zone. It's not clear whether Oscar's direct travel from Shanghai to Dalian after all the medium- and high-risk areas in the Pudong New Area have been eliminated will be in line with the current local epidemic prevention policy, which imposes a four-day home quarantine on people coming from cities at or above the prefectural level from which an epidemic originates. If landing in Dalian requires only four days of home quarantine, then Oscar's trip to Hainan may no longer be necessary.
As a result, there is still a great deal of uncertainty as to how Oscar will travel to Dalian and when he will be able to return to the Seaport team. The only thing that is certain is that Shanghai Seaport Football Club is working hard to get Oscar back to the team as soon as possible under the general framework of the national epidemic prevention regulations.
On the other hand, the prospect of Muay's return, who has just competed with Australia in the intercontinental play-offs of the World Qualification Tournament, is equally confusing. With World Cup qualification in hand, Mooi's wife revealed on social media that Mooi flew back to his home in Scotland, England the very next day. The day before, content posted by Mui's wife showed that the Harbour outfit was still reunited with his family.
Whether or not Muay will be able to play for the Harbour this year has also become a huge question mark considering he has to represent Australia at the end of the year at the World Cup in Qatar.
