Safety first - that's why the home game of EC Peiting against ECDC Memmingen planned for Sunday evening was canceled at short notice.
The reason is a suspected corona case among the "Eisbären Regensburg".
Peiting - About three quarters of an hour before the starter bullies, the EC Peiting reported the sad news for the fans: The home game planned for Sunday evening in the Oberliga Süd against the "Indians" of the ECDC Memmingen had to be canceled.
The reason for the cancellation was a positive corona suspected case among the "Eisbären Regensburg", the opponents of Memmingen on Friday evening.
In a quick test before yesterday's home game between Regensburg and the “Selber Wölfe”, a team member of the “Eisbären” got a positive result.
The top game was canceled, all Regensburg players as well as the coaching and support staff went into quarantine at home, the "polar bears" announced.
How things will go on now, they want to coordinate with the health department on Monday.
The game of the Peitinger against Memmingen, the EVR opponent on Friday, would have "been feasible from a medical point of view", announced the DEB in the evening.
However, the duel was canceled "in consultation with the clubs involved".
They just didn't want to take any risks: The “Indians” team will be tested for the corona virus in the next few days.
Should there be a positive test that can be traced back to the Regensburg game, then the ECP (if the game against Memmingen had taken place) would have been affected by possible risks and consequences.
The Peitinger wanted to avoid that.
Both sides finally agreed on a short-term cancellation.
The game will not be scored and will be played on a later date to be specified.
