Ralf Minge, Dynamo’s sporting director said: “In the past few weeks, we have made enormous efforts in terms of personnel and logistics in order to strictly implement all the prescribed medical and hygienic measures.
“We are in contact with the responsible health authority and the DFL to coordinate all further steps.
“The fact is that we can neither train nor participate in the game in the next 14 days.”
Dresden were set to play against Hannover 96 on May 17, and it now remains to be seen how the Bundesliga 2’s bottom side can slot back into action.
They aren’t the only second tier German side to go into quarantine, with FC Erzgebirge Aue sending home all players and staff four days ago due to one person testing positive for coronavirus.
All eyes will be on the Bundesliga when it kicks off in a week’s time.
