Things have now escalated, though, with Jannes Horn also testing positive.

With two of their players carrying Covid-19, the club have now sent the remained of the squad home for self-quarantine. No other player has tested positively.

They have also requested that upcoming games against Dynamo Dresden and VfL Osnabrück be suspended.

Elsewhere in the 2. Bundesliga, VfB Stuttgart have confirmed that an employee who works at the stadium has also tested positive for Covid-19.
