Hübers should not have had contact with his teammates since he became ill. Nevertheless, the club takes precautions and tests the entire team.

- Timo appeared quite exemplary. He has not shown any symptoms so far. When he found out that a person who had been with him at the event had tested positive, he reported directly to the doctor and temporarily quarantined at home, says club director Gerhard Zuber.
