The exchange applies to players who have been confirmed with covid-19.

It writes the European Handball Federation (EHF) in a press release.

The number of changes, between the selected championship squad of 16 players and the original gross squad of 35 players, is unlimited.

Previously, a maximum of six changes were made throughout the tournament.

"Due to the pandemic and the risk that a number of players in a team can be tested positive during the European Championships, there will be no limit to the number of replacements in the event of established infection riots," writes EHF in the press release.

The championship is planned to be held between December 3-20 in Norway and Denmark, but it is still uncertain how Norway will be able to arrange the tournament due to the country's corona rules.
