China informed the World Health Organization (WHO) of the scope of the gravity of the COVID-19 on December 31, 65 days after the end of the World Military Games.
This week, after symptoms emerged in the French military from the Games, Spanish team leaders asked the athletes who participated in Wuhan if they had shown any signs of the pandemic.
The Ministry of Defence was not aware of any of its participants in the Games displaying any symptoms and it’s too late to test them now.
However, they declared that the Spanish delegation did not accommodate near the French.
