3 January 2023 at 11:43 Danes tested positive for corona before the handball World Cup The Swedish and Danish handball men have said that they are isolating themselves before the handball World Cup for fear of corona infection. But now Danish Simon Pytlick has delivered a positive corona test after attending the Danish WC camp. He is isolated from the rest of the handball squad, writes NTB. The Danish Handball Association (DHF) says that it may be an old infection. – It is a weak positive test, and therefore we hope it is an old infection, says national team doctor Morten Storgaard. Aftonbladet reported on Monday that the International Handball Federation (IHF) decided that all players must undergo corona testing in the days before the first World Cup match, as well as before the intermediate round and quarter-finals. If a player tests positive, it triggers an automatic quarantine of five days. In addition, the person concerned must submit a negative test to be declared eligible to play. The WC is played in Sweden and Poland. The Danes are reigning world champions and play their first World Cup match against Belgium in ten days. Before that, two practice matches await against Saudi Arabia.
