Oberstdorf (dpa) - At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf, the first large corona test series of all those involved brought almost only negative results.

From the first 4,000 tests, only one suspected case emerged, which is now in quarantine, as managing director Moritz Beckers-Schwarz said on Wednesday at the opening press conference.

The functionary gave no information about the person or details.

In addition to regular PCR tests, the organizers also use antigen tests at the event.

«We are watching this very closely.

We can react quickly, ”said Beckers-Schwarz.

The hygiene concept for the competitions that lasted until March 7th had been refined again and again until shortly before the start of the World Cup.
