LAKELAND, Fla. — Shao-Ching Chiang, a Detroit Tigers pitcher from Taiwan who is in spring training with the team, said Friday he has not been quarantined for the coronavirus, but he did not have any concerns about the virus.
“He has no problem with quarantine,” Chiang said through an interpreter. “Everything was smooth. He wasn’t quarantined.”
Chiang, a 26-year-old right-hander, said he traveled to the United States on Feb. 11, when pitchers and catchers reported for spring training.
Coronavirus was first detected in China in mid-December. The outbreak of the respiratory disease has spread worldwide, with more than 83,000 infected in 53 countries.
