Apart from players and supervisors, four people from the functional team were also affected. All those involved with symptoms are doing well under the circumstances, the KSC said, pointing out that the vaccination rate is 100 percent. The club is in discussion with the Karlsruhe Health Department about further measures. As a precaution, a PCR test will be carried out again on Friday for all people who tested negative.
On Wednesday, the KSC had already announced that it would suspend training as a precaution. The club, which had entered the DFB Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday with a 1-0 (0-0) win at third division club TSV 1860 Munich, did not name the names of those affected.
