– We are in a situation where several in the squad have tested positive for covid-19 after the World Cup competitions in Ruka. The situation is clearly unfortunate and we are currently taking several measures to minimize further spread of infection, as many active people are already on site in Gällivare, says national team doctor Rickard Noberius to Sportbladet.
The measures consist of regular quick tests and continued accuracy with hand sanitizer and mouth protection.
However, there is still hope for Frida Karlsson, as she shows no symptoms.
– She has been isolated and we continue to follow the development of possible infection symptoms and if it turns out that there will be negative tests during the week, before we make a final decision regarding the start of the competition, says Rickard Noberius to the newspaper.
