On Saturday when the match was to be played, a Visby player stated that she did not feel any taste.
Another player also had symptoms that indicated covid-19.
After a conversation with an infection control doctor, the match was canceled and when it was with less than two days' notice, Wetterbygden won the match on a walkover.
- Corona means that nothing is perfect and nothing is fair to one hundred percent, but in the end they have agreed on these 48 hours and then everyone has something to relate to.
says Olle Lundén.
- Legally speaking, it should be seen as a walkover, but if you look at it from an ethical and moral perspective, we are punished because we take responsibility.
We had to sacrifice sports to protect our and Wetterbygden's players, says Visby's communicator Louie Söderberg to helagotland.se.
The reason why matches cannot be postponed with less than 48 hours' notice is that it would involve large costs for the away team.
- In this situation, Wetterbygden would have had to pay for a completely new trip and new hotels, because they were already in place, says Lundén.
When the match was canceled, Visby thus had no positive test results, but on Saturday the news came that six players have tested positive for covid-19.
