Two games postponed – VG

This weekend’s matches between Frisk Asker and Sparta, as well as the Manglerud Stars match against Lillehammer, have been postponed, after a Sparta player tested positive for the coronavirus on Friday. The Norwegian Ice Hockey Association states this Twitter-konto Friday.

The positive test was taken the day after Sparta went into action against Manglerud Star.

This is the first time that Fjordkraft league matches have been postponed due to a crown infection.

– We have been saved so far. The clubs have taken their infection control work very seriously and we are pleased that it has gone so well for so long. But that it arrives at some point is not a bomb, says the general secretary of the ice hockey association, Ottar Eide, to VG.

– It will be a consequent error, but in the first instance it was these two parties that have been affected, he adds.

The positive corona test for a Sparta player has put the entire team in quarantine. This is what the CEO of Sparta, Henning Svendsen, tells VG.

– Yes, it is true that one of our players has tested positive for covid-19. The player is isolated, as are two others waiting to be evaluated. In addition, the entire equipment and support apparatus have been quarantined, says Svendsen.

He claims the infected player was not involved in Sparta’s match against Manglerud Star on Thursday. However, everyone involved in the fight has been quarantined.

– We cross our fingers that there will not be many more times, but we have different scenarios prepared if things develop in a negative direction. We have to take it as it comes, but the work being done in the clubs is very good, says Secretary General Eide.
