The last few weeks of the German Bundesliga season were thrown into chaos Friday as a coronavirus outbreak at Hertha Berlin forced the capital club into a two-week quarantine. “That is the right step from a health perspective, but it is obviously a blow from a sporting perspective,” said Hertha sporting director Arne Friedrich. That idea was torpedoed by Plattenhardt’s positive test, with local health authorities imposing what Hertha called “stricter measures”. “In my view, there is no reason to think about suspending the season at the moment,” he told Bild newspaper. In a statement, the DFL said it would announce new dates for the postponed Hertha games “in the coming week”.
