Game cancellations due to corona cases
Due to corona cases, two games with Erlangen against Melsungen and Hannover-Burgdorf against HSV Hamburg had to be postponed.
Due to the feared after-effects of the European Championship, which was severely affected by the virus, the Handball Bundesliga had changed its regulations for the resumption of play in the league. According to this, games can be canceled if six field players or two goalkeepers in a team are infected with the corona virus or have not yet received medical clearance after surviving an illness.
