The news is spreading like wildfire among the national frame members that there are 15 positive covidian referees in the NB frame, while another 5 referees are waiting for the result.
In the case, we contacted the MLSZ press department to see what precautions were taken to protect the referees.

As soon as the answer arrives, we will update our article.

I'm assuming they are including the NBII and NBII because there are only 16 referees in the NBI! Very concerning if there is any truth in it. Not sure what to make of it really, they are normally pretty good with articles and info but they are very anti Mr Puhl and sometimes it can cloud their judgement slightly.
