Although he returned from a six-day business trip to Ibiza on Thursday, Maurice Steijn will not be quarantined. The trainer of NAC Breda will lead the group training in Zundert for the first time this week on Saturday; Friday NAC has a day off. The government advises quarantine for five to 10 days after a trip abroad, but NAC reports in a statement BN DeStem that Steijn has been subjected to a daily rapid test in Ibiza and that the KNVB believes that he can coach responsibly.
If Steijn followed the urgent advice of the government, he would miss the games against NEC (May 3) and MVV Maastricht (May 7), while he could not have led training until then. The government advises in any case to travel abroad at least until 15 May if necessary. Top athletes who are internationally active at the highest level are exempted from home quarantine after a trip abroad, but Steijn does not fall under these exceptions.
“We have regular and frequent contact with the KNVB and more specifically in this case: the bond doctor”, NAC said in a statement. “Of course we tested this situation well in advance. Even after the assessment, the KNVB confirms that Maurice Steijn can coach responsibly and will therefore also be present at the match (against NEC, ed.). NAC provides customization, just like the others. clubs when it comes to measures and compliance. ” NAC indicates that it is ‘much stricter’ than prescribed by the measures of the RIVM and the government. In recent months, the club has conducted more than three thousand tests, including rapid tests.
“This is also the case. Steijn will be tested on a daily basis in the coming days and will of course participate in the regular test round for the upcoming round. In addition, Steijn has had a quick test taken every day in recent days. Steijn arrives at the club dressed up, gets onto the field from his car, keeps a distance from all players and staff and gets back into the car after training “, according to the current number five of the Kitchen Champion Division. “This is in accordance with the strict KNVB protocols that we follow from the start. This means that Maurice can lead the competition preparation at NEC himself, as well as the competition.”
