"All the necessary steps were taken to isolate the player from the rest of the team, to identify and isolate the closest contact persons, to clarify the matter and to collect information." The health department is in contact with the DFB.
Those responsible do not expect a rejection.
"As long as the health department does not initiate any further measures, we assume that the game will take place as planned," said a spokesman for the DFB.

German national team in the last test match before the 2021 European Football Championship - euphoria in Germany not yet noticeable
The euphoria ahead of the 2021 European Championship is currently not particularly great in Germany.
On the one hand, this may be due to Corona, on the other hand, it will also have something to do with the recent sobering results of the national team.
In the last test match of the DFB-11 against Denmark, it was also only enough to draw *.
Not to mention the end of the 2018 World Cup. Since then, the national team has not been able to convince any more - no wonder that not many German flags adorn the cars or balconies.
We want to show the whole world that our early exit at the 2018 World Cup was just a slip-up.
National player Emre Can in an interview with Sport1.
According to Joachim Löw, the friendly against Latvia is only of limited use as a dress rehearsal for the opening game of the European Championship against France.
Therefore, he will "not let play" like against France.
This is mainly due to the fact that, unlike France, Latvia is "very defensive-oriented," said the national coach at the press conference before the game.
The lineup in the test will only be “the solution for the game against Latvia”.
"Against France it will be different again," promised Joachim Löw.
Well then - with a victory in the dress rehearsal before the European Championship, the national team could perhaps spark a little euphoria in Germany after all.
