This is due to covid-19 infection in the Umeå team, the Swedish Basketball Association announces.

Waiting for answer

Radiosporten reports that the men's teams Umeå and Nässjö have been affected by covid-19 since they met in a training match last week.

The clubs' premier matches in the men's league are now in the danger zone.

- The clubs have announced that they are ill, and we are waiting to get in touch with their infection control doctor.

We have a protocol that we follow and that must decide, says Olle Lundén, competition manager at the Swedish Basketball Association to Radiosporten.

Nässjö meets Södertälje while Umeå receives Jämtland on Tuesday - provided that the matches can be played as planned.
