The captain of the cruise ship “MSC Opera,” which is set to arrive at the Greek island of Corfu on Thursday, has reportedly told more than 2,000 passengers not to leave the vessel, due to the diagnosis of a covid19 coronavirus case on board. One of the previous vacationers who were on board the ship was tested and found positive for the Covid19 coronavirus. Passengers from the ship were in Athens on Wednesday, but they were summoned and told to return to the vessel as soon as possible after the discovery, due to “security reasons.” The tourists were informed about the positive case of one of the passengers, who is not onboard any longer.

The series of Rafael Nadal’s rituals - Nadal takes a freezing cold shower, 45 minutes before the match. - He wears both socks at the same height. - He carries one racket onto the court, and five rackets in his bag. - Takes off the jacket while jumping, facing the audience. - He always places his bottles in the same exact position. - Jumps at the net during the coin toss. - Runs to the baseline for warmups - He places his hair behind his ear and fiddles with his shorts or underwear before each serve. - Crosses the sidelines with his right foot only and avoid stepping on it. - Nadal uses a towel after every single point. - He ensures his opponent crosses the net before he does during a changeover. - He sips his energy drink and then his water, always in the same order.
