In the Trondheim World Cup, the biggest risks are indoors. In the previous Planica World Championships, Finland stayed at its own hotel. Now, according to Maarit Valtonen, chief doctor of the Olympic Committee and in several value races, the Finnish skiers are accommodated in a very busy hotel, where most of the other teams are.
The Finnish World Cup and ski jumping and maintenance are at another hotel. Dagbladet by Norway has booked two floors with its own dining rooms and kitchens with Finnish skiers with Finnish skiers.
Janne Pesonen, who works as a doctor for the Finnish Ski Team at the Trondheim World Championships, said on Wednesday that the World Championships used by skiers will be completely comparable anywhere else for health safety.
– We have been lucky enough to have only two other teams in the same dining area. We’re not in that big herd, Pesonen says.
According to Valtonen, Finnish skiers have been pretty much in their own way before the World Cup. They have not applied for large crowds and have used face masks if they have to go shopping, for example. The most important thing has been that they would not face the patients.
In addition to traveling, according to Valtonen, the infections coming from home have been the highest risk before the World Cup.
– In your own home, infections are the easiest when you live closely to everyday life. In these situations, you must be aware. The related party must have been committed and ready to leave the home elsewhere if there are symptoms, Valtonen describes.
