They've barely been gone, I hope they were asymptomatic. Otherwise, such a speedy return would be troublesome.

I'm hoping Hinana will be able to play Dobbon again now. She was so enthusiastic about making the Top 16 in the current event, for the Live performance, and she was ranked so high before COVID Now she's at 17th... If you guys are playing, please add some Hinana cards to your deck to push her back into the Senbatsu, please!

 

Furuhata Nao-chan announced she has COVID on August 24th and no updates yet

Also it looks like Ego Yuna also has it?

It's obvious those clear half face shields aren't offering any protection

 

Wrong thread i guess
