Jeep Elite (J2): The coronavirus got the better of the Pau-Lacq-Orthez match

Elan Béarnais will not be able to make his first outing at home. While the Pau-Lacq-Orthez club were to face Le Mans on Monday at 9 p.m. Le Mans in one of the posters for the 2nd day of Jeep Elite, the match was postponed to a later date barely an hour before kick-off. The reason is due to the results of the coronavirus screening tests carried out by the players of Elan Béarnais this Monday a few hours before the match. The results made it possible to highlight the presence of a “cluster”, ie a group of players affected by the virus, within the professional workforce and the training center of the Pau club.

???????? Due to the identification of a COVID-19 cluster within Elan Béarnais, the evening meeting facing the @MSB_Officiel is postponed to a later date. #JeepELITE
