In an insane schedule, this is a rest that in normal times the handball players of PSG would appreciate.
But not there.
The French champions had two matches scheduled this week in the Starligue.
A first this Tuesday in Chambéry and another Friday in Toulouse.
Both are postponed.
This Monday evening, the Parisian club announced that two members of its workforce have tested positive for Covid.
The identity of these two members is not disclosed by the club.
"The screenings carried out in recent days have revealed two positive cases for Sars Cov 2 within the Parisian workforce," said PSG in a press release.
In accordance with the health protocol of the NHL, the players and members of the technical staff were placed in isolation for a period of seven days.

No trips to @TeamChambe and @Fenix_HB

Consequence: the two matches of the week are obviously postponed to a later date in agreement with the National League.
“The Lidl Starligue meetings scheduled this week in Chambéry and Toulouse are postponed.
The Rouge et Bleu should come to Fenix on April 20, before facing the Chambériens around May 5, ”added PSG.
Seven days of isolation, this means that the Parisians will be just operational to play their Champions League match at the Slovenes of Celje scheduled for Thursday April 1, if all goes well.
