There has been an increase in positive Covid-19 test results in the Oberliga Süd led to numerous game cancellations. As a result of the quarantine order at EV Lindau Islanders, all of the Lake Constance team's matches between November 15th and 29th, 2020 were canceled, affecting a total of six games. Likewise for the Starbulls Rosenheim After positive test results in the team, a quarantine of the entire team was ordered, which initially resulted in three game cancellations between November 13th and 22nd, 2020.
The EHF encounter was also taken as a precautionary measure Passau Black Hawks in the ECDC Memmingen Indians canceled - planned for this Friday evening (20 p.m.). Passau was Rosenheim's last opponent on Tuesday. Also the game HC Landsberg Riverkings against EC Peiting cannot take place this Friday evening (20 p.m.) - the reason for this is a suspected Corona case among the Landsbergers. After isolated suspected cases at Höchstadter EC before the duel with Eisbären Regensburg, this duel and the guest game next Sunday at EV Füssen must also be canceled. All encounters should be rescheduled at a later date.
There are still two games on the program this Friday. The Blue Devils Weiden welcome EV Füssen and the Selber Wölfe face SC Riessersee. All clubs that have had contact with teams with positive cases within the last week have been required to undergo mandatory rapid tests before the games. With a view to the match day next Sunday, the overall situation will be reassessed at short notice.
DEB-Vice President Marc Hindelang: “We will re-evaluate game day by game day and do what is feasible. We pointed out several times before the season that everyone involved would need the greatest possible flexibility and that everyone could continually be faced with new, growing challenges. Therefore, the course of the season must be constantly adapted to new scenarios. After the elimination of the gearing round with the Bayernleague, the game mode has already been adapted to the new circumstances and we will continue to do so. The maxim remains to represent what is possible.”
