Regensburg (dpa) - Regensburg's managing director Christian Keller assumes that the other corona cases in his second division club have been infected with the British variant.
Keller reported on Monday that coach Mersad Selimbegovic had found out on Saturday that he had been infected with the mutant, which is considered particularly contagious.
According to Keller, the already strict protective measures were then “no longer strong enough”.
“We weren't any less careful or less careful, everything went as it always did.
That's why we can't really explain it to ourselves. "
Coach Selimbegovic had tested positive for the corona virus on Friday, the second division game against SC Paderborn (1-0) on the same evening could still be carried out without the coach according to the hygiene rules of the German Football League.
The association then increased the frequency of the tests to every day, reported Keller.
Yesterday evening, many negative tests came back, but some were missing.
These missing tests all came back positive this Monday morning.
You rule out false-positive tests, said Keller.
A “few” would have been infected with the corona virus.

According to Keller, the responsible health department has already made an oral announcement that the entire team and the supervisory staff must now be in quarantine.
A written confirmation is now required so that it can serve as the basis for a cancellation of the DFB Cup quarter-final against first division club Werder Bremen, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
