The 32-year-old Shvedova, who returned to the tour just a month ago after giving birth to twins Mirka and Stan in October 2018, was flying back home from the canceled BNP Paribas Open tournament.

After undergoing the necessary tests, Shvedova informed her social media following that she’s tested negative for coronavirus, nevertheless, she’ll be spending a total of two weeks in the hospital, because she was flying very close to the infected individual, while 2/3 of the passengers have been sent to home quarantine.

Shvedova will have to wait nine more days to see her family again, but she’s staying positive and keeping us updated on Instagram.
