ABSTRACT
Under the condition of normalized epidemic, how athletes train and compete well has been in the spotlight. This article reported the symptom, hospitalization and training situation of seven confirmed cases of coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19) among Chinese national teams. Moreover, the paper summarized the experience of Chinese national teams in terms of epidemic prevention and control, treatment of infection, and safe return to play. Through a scientific combination of medication and non-medical treatment, seven athletes were all discharged from the hospital. These discharged athletes underwent strict isolation and scientific training before returning to sports teams. Before returning to play, continuous monitoring of physical and mental condition was required. All seven athletes returned to play safely and performed excellently. As for hosting large-scale sporting events, the entire enclosed-loop management from immigration to competition was proposed in this paper. This study could serve as a standard of epidemic prevention and control, treatment for infection and safe return to play during competition and training around the world.
