Tonight's JVM match between the USA and Switzerland is canceled.
This after two positive tests in the American camp.
According to current regulations, Switzerland is awarded the victory with 1-0 and the American team is quarantined.
During the night until Thursday, the USA will meet the Junior Crowns.
It is not yet clear if that match can be played.
Håkan Loob, an expert in SVT, says that there are several question marks that need to be straightened out quickly now.
- I think the next 24 hours will be very crucial (for the future of the championship).
We will see how big the outbreak is and if the players have been isolated quickly enough.
How it spreads and whether the American players have had time to infect others.
If more teams are involved, I think it will be difficult to complete the championship.
He continues:
- I think the organizer will be careful that you want to complete the championship.
It's a big tournament that you really want to do.
But there are no extra playing days.
You can not postpone matches, so at the same time I think there is a lot of concern with the organizer right now.
