After a quick dialogue with Västerås and the Swedish Bandy Association, the parties decided to move the match to 1 December.

It all started on Monday when some players got symptoms, Sandviken writes on his website.

- There were a number of players who fell ill on Monday morning and had a common cold.

Since there were so many, we decided together with doctors that everyone in the squad would test themselves for covid-19, says Sandviken's coach Niklas Gälman to the club's website.

And the tests showed that there were covid cases in the squad.

- The results of the tests showed that a few in the team tested positive for covid-19, Gälman continues.
