HaBaWaBa defeats Covid 802-0
The green pass requirement and health safety measures worked, no one tested positives at the Lignano event: safe sport is possible
At HaBaWaBa 2021 there was one opponent that all 59 teams were able to defeat: Covid-19. During the 7 days of the event, no coronavirus case was recorded neither among the little athletes, nor among coaches, team managers and parents, all required to show the green pass (from vaccine or test) in order to enter the facilities of Bella Italia & EFA Village.
At the teams check-in, Waterpolo Development volunteers checked green passes and tests of the member of the teams and in the following days WPD provided the squads with the swabs necessary for the journey home. The organization worked and HaBaWaBa 2021 was able to go on without any problem, giving the 698 young athletes (but also the teams staff, 802 people overall) a week to remember for a lifetime.
Therefore from HaBaWaBa an important lesson comes: doing sport safely, even in pools, is possible.
