CHIANG RAI, THAILAND - JULY 4: Thai rescue workers practice medical training on an entrance of Tham Luang Nang Non cave on July 04, 2018 in Chiang Rai, Thailand.

All have been thoroughly examined with X-rays and blood tests and the permanent secretary of the public health ministry, Jesada Chokedamrongsuk, has confirmed that "All eight are in good health, no fever... everyone is in a good mental state."
The boys and their coach became trapped on 23 June after heavy rainfall caused severe flooding.
Divers discovered the team last week and a group of 90 experienced volunteers (over half of which are from Thailand, the rest from other nations) have been working to free them from the underwater cave system.

Navigating the caves has been difficult, and there is a passage so tight that divers had to take off their air tanks to squeeze through.
A former Thai navy diver lost his life in the rescue mission on Friday, losing consciousness after delivering air tanks to the trapped boys.
His colleagues had said that they wouldn't let his sacrifice go to waste.
