The Hannover player is currently in quarantine while the entire crew and staffs of the second division club will undergo tests.

Director of Hannover Gerhard Zuber released a statement said:

“Timo behaved in an exemplary manner.

“He shows no symptoms himself. So far, when he found out that a person who had been with him at the event was tested positively, he reported directly to the doctor and temporarily went into quarantine at home.”
