On July 29, Ojo received a message that pneumonia was in remission, and received permission to return to light training. Chovich added that Ujo trained three times before he received permission to do so, when on the advice of doctors he was advised to return to light training only.
Chovich added that the doctors' recommendation in the Mecca for pneumonia is a rest of between three and six weeks, in addition to raising the possibility that the combination of the corona after the pneumonia may have caused Ojoo's heart attack. The investigation of the case is still ongoing, with the autopsy of the deceased including a corona examination.
