It went well for three game days, now the corona pandemic is bringing chaos to the Oberliga Süd.
The EC Peiting is also affected by this.
The game in Landsberg is canceled.
Peiting
- Now has happened what many had feared, but no one had hoped.
The corona virus turns game operations in the Oberliga Süd on its head.
Several teams reported positive cases in their ranks during the week.
Numerous games were canceled for this reason.
This also includes the EC Peiting away game at HC Landsberg scheduled for Friday evening.
How things will go on with the Peitingers is still unclear.
This Sunday's home game against the Selber Wolves is also on the brink.
"There is a need for action," says Thomas Zeck, Chairman of the EC Peiting.
"The season can hardly be continued in the planned form." Only this week - after the Bavarian League was canceled - the mode was extended to a one and a half round until the beginning of March.
The association must consult with the club representatives in the coming days.
There is no precise plan for this situation yet, “but considerations.
We are not unprepared, ”says the ECP chairman.
However, the whole thing no longer makes him nervous.
Positive test results in four clubs
The EV Lindau alone, which reported 14 positive corona cases on Thursday, has already canceled all games for November - at least six in number.
HC Landsberg was opponent of the "Islanders" last Sunday.
When a Landsberg player showed symptoms during the week, the team was tested.
The rapid test gave a positive result.
The confirmation is still pending, but both games of the HCL have been canceled for this weekend.
“These are the guidelines,” explains Zeck.
According to him, the exchange between the clubs and the association worked well.
In all decisions, the health of those involved is in the foreground.
The regular PCR testing at Starbulls Rosenheim this week revealed three more positive cases.
The entire first team immediately went into quarantine at home.
The next four games have already been canceled.
Opponents of Rosenheim last Sunday?
The highest city EC.
Rapid tests also gave two positive results for the "alligators".
And the HEC was a guest in Peiting on Tuesday.

For its part, the ECP wanted to decide how to proceed in consultation with the health department.
Deggendorfer SC (last Tuesday opponent of EV Lindau) and EHF Passau (last Tuesday opponent of Starbulls Rosenheim) are also indirectly affected by the many corona cases within the Oberliga Süd.
The result: For Friday only the duels Weiden - Füssen and Selb - Riessersee were on the program.
It is not yet clear who will play on Sunday.
During the course of Friday, DEB Vice President Marc Hindelang also commented on the situation in the Oberliga Süd: “We will reevaluate matchday after matchday and implement what is feasible.” He reminded everyone that the greatest possible flexibility will be required and everyone involved can be faced with new challenges again and again.
"The maxim remains to represent what is feasible."
