In the last 24 hours, the number of covid cases has increased sharply in Skåne.

The number of patients admitted to the intensive care units has almost doubled.

That is why Region Skåne announced yesterday that they are tightening up the corona councils.

It now affects the TV puck, whose final game this week is played in Umeå.

Skåne's girls team will not participate in the playoffs, after consultation with the infection control in Skåne.

The team is not replaced.

- From an infection control point of view, we do not see that it is possible to bring in another team with such short notice before the tournament, so now we review how we solve the game schedule in the best way, says the Swedish Ice Hockey Association's competition director Olof Östblom, in a statement on the association's website.
