Joint disease which is a threat on couple of continents

Unfortunately, more and more countries are reporting the epidemic with new cases everyday. When continents are concerned currently it is present on four: North America, Africa, Asia and Europe. However, from a football perspective, in the following three stories it will be mentioned the last two.
When everyone are trying to escape from People's Republic of China (even foreigners), one brave 31-year-old player will go in there, and nevertheless, he chose to go even to the epicentre of this virus. Everybody thought that the defender would stay in the club, when five days ago it was reported (out of the blue and as a shock) that Daniel Carrico from Sevilla will transfer to Wuhan zall. The Portuguese player simply could not refuse a good financial offer from the Chinese club, and this news was unusual and even hard to believe, because everybody knows that Wuhan is the city when this disease started to spread from December 2019 to the whole world.
Sport is impossible to play in People's Republic of China at the moment, and so does football. The World Cup 2022 plus Asian Cup 2023 qualifiers would go as planned, but on a neutral venue for the country. In times of travel bans, last Friday Thailand has agreed to pose as a host to Chinese players where they will meet Maldives on 26 March, and with Guam five days later.
Just 24 hours has passed and it happened the first and official sport cancellation event in Europe. In a short period of time and because of very high infectees in Italy, Ascoli and Cremonese did not play their match from Serie B (second division). Due to precaution this duel was called off just one hour before kick-off, where full bus of spectators was expected in the stadium from Cremona, the north region of Lombardy when it was reported even 30 new cases that day. After that, a third division (Serie C) game was cancelled (Piacenza - Sambenedettese) plus some junior and amateur matches from the same area, while yesterday four games from Serie A (first division) did not even start because of the same reason.
