At the Ice Tigers, two pools were positive, so 20 PCR tests were ordered. Since it takes at least a day for the results to be known, the Ice Tigers would have carried out “certified rapid tests” on the morning of the game day before the final training session. According to Horlamus, all of them had a negative result, and nobody had shown symptoms either. Consequently, everyone would have trained and played.
At Stoa and Schmölz, the positive test results became known during the game. At Treutle and Ribarik only on Thursday. The four players must each be isolated for at least seven days.
No quarantine necessary
The Nuremberg health department did not contact the Ice Tigers because of a team quarantine, Horlamus said. It is also not necessary, since it is also the case in Bavaria that people with a booster vaccination no longer have to be in quarantine, even if they have had close and prolonged contact with someone who has tested positive.
So it may be that the Nürnberg Ice Tigers have to play against the Eisbären Berlin on Friday, although they may have more corona cases than the Schwenninger Wild Wings, for example, who had to be in group quarantine after reporting “several team members” with an infection without give a specific number.
